1958 Fleetside bed mounting - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Would anyone happen to have some pictures of the mounting points for a 58 Fleetside? I am converting my stepside and when I went to mount the Fleetside the cross sills were not all touching the framerail. Are there supposed to be rubber mounting pads that get thicker or what? Are they all supposed to make solid contact with the frame? If anyone has some pictures please let me know. Thank you.

Thanks. So it looks like every rail sits firmly on the frame. I wonder if mine are placed wrong or if the stepside frame was slightly different from the fleetside. My truck was a stepside and I found a fleetside bed to install on it. Would it be possible for you to send me the measurements to the center of each rail coming from the tailgate or the cab end?
