Bed mounting hardware?

[littlebob]

Can someone help with the location of the wooden blocks, u-bolt positions and the positions of the front springs? I spent about 30 min searching and it was getting late. I'd like to buckle it down tomorrow.Thanks in advance. The search did work well earlier on fine tuning the brake adjustments, Thanks to all that have made the search easier to use.

Today I went and looked at jluv1185's deuce to see how his was done. His spring position I saw but his didn't have the u-bolts like mine did, or the wooden blocks where they go. Still trying to figuire it out if any one can help

They just take long bolts with springs in the two front holes.Never seen any with u bolts.

None of my trucks use u-bolt, not the M35,M109 or M135. They all have just boltsbetween tabs on the frame and tabes on the bed/box. But my M45/530C fire truck bed bolts to the frame tabs but uses wood blocks like spacers, between the frame tab and the bed. The bed sits on wood on the frame just like the M35 bed.

The frist 3 pic are of the M35 bed and the last 2 are of the fire truck bed.

I had a couple of parts trucks with the U-bolts with wood blocks, all the wood blocks broke
when smacked with a big hammer to remove them from behind the U-bolts.
As far as positioning the U-bolts there isn't too many good places to install them to properly
disperse the trucks bed weight- so choose your own.

Thats what I'm probably going to to do. just put them fore or aft of the reinforcements for the axles. When I looked at jluv's it had the same arangement as was posted earlier by another member.
