short fleet wood bed ?
 

just wondering how many bed cross sills i need. im converting from a short step to a short fleet. thanks

You will end up with two cross sills up front that bolt to your frame. The rear cross sill thats at the very end of the box and one in front of it, and one shorter reinforcement sill thats shorter between your fender wells. You will end up with the same amount of cross sills as your step side only they will be wider for your fleetside except the reinforcement one whichs is the same as your stepside one. Hope thats not too confusing and helps

Re: short fleet wood bed ?
 

Nevermind, read question wrong, not sure how the rear sill in a fleet is held on.

Bolts on and welded (tacked)

I was way off.I thought this was about a short Cadillac pickup truck.J/K :lol:
This is some good general info on bed construction,though.

rear sill is bolted to the frame, wood rests on it and the bedsides bolted under the taillights and the side are tacked near the tailgate mount to prevent them from "spreading"
