Removed the '94 bed sides and set it on the frame.

- Overall plan is as follows:
1. Mount the '94 bed as shown in picture 1 with proper rake and cab-to-bed gaps.
2. Release the bed front and tailgate structure from the bed floor.
3. Section the sides keeping the the top of the bed front and top of the tailgate structure connected to the side top rails.
4. Lower the top rail, bed front and tailgate structure as a unit to a point where, when mounted, the '59 sides line up.
5. Move wheel openings.
- Picture 2 is the measurement from the front TB mounting bracket to the bottom of the bed cross member. About 9" away.
- Picture 3 is the rear one at about 2" above the frame rail.
- Picture 4 is the middle bed cross member shown sitting directly on the frame rail where it belongs. The front of it is butted up against the complicated TB spring perch assembly which just so happens creates pretty acceptable cab-to-bed gaps.
- If you look closely enough in picture 5, you can see that the high point of the spring perch assembly is about 3/4" below the bottom of the bed floor. Will move the bed down by notching the '94 cross member. May even rest the cross member on the spring perch assembly with a rubber pad between. The Chevy engineers went to allot of trouble to create this complicated spring perch assembly to get the exhaust over the rear end. Appears to me they over thought it. The clearances are way over the top. Looks like they could have made it flat and gotten nearly the same clearance.
