He is talking about welding studs or bolts to the cross sills to bolt the bed down to the frame. That way one doesn't have to use the offset washers and carriage bolts to hold the bed to the frame.
Now I have to go back and look to see if he used the strips with hidden bolts.

OOPS SHOULD HAVE READ ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE COMMENTS.
