Re: 56 bed cross sills

here you go, I thought both beds were 56 but there is some slight differences in crossmember design and locaation. the red bed is missing the three smaller crossmembers but you can still see where they would go.

I also included the pictures of my framerails for you to compare, the frame is a 58, I found out by checking the VIN

This def helps and now I can see that I have some wrong cross seals, so I need to order the correct ones. Does everyone like Mar-K for those?
