I was looking at my Sons truck when we were putting the bed on. I noticed that it looked like someone had cutt off the supports that go on the rear of the bed and set on top of the frame rails. Here is my question. Are the frame rails the same for a Short Step as the Short Wide beds? I think once I get the bed wood in the truck and bolted together I will be able to build some brakets and weld them on just to support the back end of the bed to the frame rails. If anyone has some pictures of the underneath side of their Fleetside bed and how it attaches in the back it would be a great help. Thanks in advance.
