The 57 is Home!

[mountainkowboy]

Well the 57 finally made it home on Monday.............what a pain. You would think that when someone says that they would be there to pick it up with a car trailer, one would say that everything is just sitting on the frame and not bolted down. Oh yea, and that we have no idea where ANY of the bolts are at. Its a good thing that I carry about 6-3" ratchet straps with me all the time. Well the trip home was uneventful except for all the stares and smiles. I started in on removing some of the parts stacked in the bed and cab and have a question for some of the experts. I'm new to the early Chevy short beds and the bed is not complete. So here's the ??, is there a matching front crossill that looks just like the rear? And thats what holds the bed on the frame, right? Is there a channel that the center crossills go into? Is there any good photos of the frame work for the shortbed that I can check out?

Any help would be kewl! Oh yea, there is NO rot anywhere on this cab, just alot of stupid bad repairs.
