Position of Bed Crossmembers

My '53 short bed has two possible positions for each bed crossmember. I've tried them a couple different ways but none seem correct. Yup, I didn't take any pictures during disassembly! Thanks.

Front crossmember

they will have to line up with the holes in the bed sides... they will only work in one place.
