Does anyone have the punched hole layout locations or a drawing for the bed strips for a 1946 short bed DP 3100? Or the precise location of the cross sills measured from the front of the bed? I bought an expensive set of bed and angle strips and they are not punched correctly. The vendor will not respond.

Or can someone confirm these dimensions to each  punched hole, measured from the front of the bed, 76-7/8” long strips:

½”,  2-3/4”,  26-1/2”,  53-1/4”,  72-5/8”, 76-3/8”

End holes are ½” from each end.  The 26-1/2” measurement is to a floating sill and is therefore approximate. All other dimensions are +/- ¼”, because these measurements are with new cross sills in-place and there can be a slight position adjustment.

@sniktau Welcome Tim! I can't directly answer your question but, while we're waiting for a response here, go to stovebolt.com and register there if you haven't already done so. That site specializes in Chevy & GMC trucks. They have an extensive Tech Tips section as well.

@tiny tried that first, but the website is very buggy, maybe overloaded.

@sniktau They have recently been getting DOS attacks from some unknown entity. They have it, at least temporarily fixed so I'd recommend trying again.
