Measurement request 9' Stepside
 

Can anyone with a 9' stepside bed help me with some measurements? Mine is a 1972 bed. I need the length of the angle strips that are welded to the inside of the bed sides, and the measurements of the location of holes from front to back. My bedsides are missing these, and Mar-K does not have a record of them. I have all the cross members, and steps (there are 2 sets of mounting holes on the steps, 17 1/2 inches apart). Any help or pics would certainly help!

Thank you! Could I bother you for a couple more? I need a measurement for the location of all the holes that run from the beginning of the angle at the cab side, to the end at the gate side. And if possible, which holes attach the bed cross sills. This will be important for location of the step braces (their holes are 17 1/2 " apart. Thank you so much!!

I'm confused at what you are asking.

Holes at beginning of what angle? If you're talking about the angle strips, I can't see any holes. My bed is on a complete driver and has the bed wood.

Cross sill holes? I have no idea, they are mounted to the frame and I'm not crawling under the truck.

I'm sorry, my post may have been a bit confusing. The bolt hole measurements I need are the ones in the metal angle strips on the edges of the bed, just above the wooden floor and the bolt holes that should be the same on the metal bed strips that run the length of the wood floor. If you could take the measurements to the center of where your bolts are in those floor strips or angle strips that would allow me to have them made. (Mar-K does not have them on file because there were so few 9'ers made for our years 67-72) I have attached a pic of a 9' bed with the bolts in the strips I am referring to. A measure from the front of the bed to the bolt centers in a line would be great. Thanks in advance to helping me and other future 9 footers out!

For a reference, these bolts in the bed strips, but all of them on one strip from the front back to the gate. Thank you!
