Pics of bed assembly and mounting?

I am building a mounting platform for my fuel tank and air ride components. Does anybody have pics of a bed mounted without the wood floor in it? On a 47-53. Especially the rear area around the rear seal and tailgate. It's goin under the bed behind the axle.
Thanks

Just so I don't sound so incompetent, I don't have cross seals tailgate rear panel front panel, basically all I have right now are bed sides. That's why this would help me right now. Thanks

what a cool deal that is on the flip-up bed board. that stuff available anywhere as a kit? Most of it looks like something I could build, but what is that actuator motor?

Yeah, but you could always have a pop up handle and make it manual. Thing I think is ironic is to put the battery under a board that is opened by battery power. Hhhmm.

Yeah, I know. but WTH, it's still cool. Much better than any other solution I've seen for this issue. This is main reason my tank is still in the cab. I just couldn't get enthused for any solution that involved a filler sticking out of the bed or a cross cut.

Re: Pics of bed assembly and mounting?

Wow, you're right about that. $$575. fat chance of me buying anything like that. Looks like the little brackets could be made from angle "stock", the J hinges cut from plate. I see actuator motors similar to that on ebay:

power window switch or something.

piece of wood weigh like 5 lbs, we don't need landing gear parts from a 747.
