Flare Side truck owners I got a bed question

[FuzzFace2]

I am getting close to fixing the lips on the bed side panels and the bed front panel.

 On the side panels I need to know on the lip in front of the wheel hump how long is this lip, does it go to the end of the bed side panel? A little piece I still have it looks like it did go to the end of the panel?

 How many bolts are in that lip thru the floor?

 I also need to know how far from the end is the first bolt? I don't think it is at the end, thru the side panel & the front panel, as it would be in the way for the lower bolt going thru the side

 On the front panel how many bolts are thru the lip at the floor?

 How far from either end (side panels) is the bolt(s)? Again I don't think at the end as it would be in the way for the lower bolt going thru the side?

 Thanks for any help you can give.

I can look, measure and take pictures tomorrow.

No rush as I most likely will not be getting to the truck till next weekend.
Besides I am sure I can find other thing to do on the truck.
Thanks

Dave, if you don't get the pictures and measurements that you need by Tuesday or Wednesday I can look at mine. It is fully disassembled so if you want/need any "apart" views of anything let me know.

Exactly to what lip do your refer?

On the side panels the lip the bolts go thru into the wood.
This is 1 of the front lips I have to replace / make.

The other front one I have to replace / make.

The rear lips don't look too bad but need work too.



It is mainly the front lips I need a picture of so I can see how many and where the holes are.
And yes I still need this information.

OK, I'll take a pic tomorrow.

Thanks
I know the lower plates also have a lip I will have to deal with too.
As you can see I don't have much to go by in making the upper side lip that can be seen.

Thanks again

Pics, hope it helps

[FuzzFace2]

It does help.

I see 5 bolts & think 1 screw on the left side and 3 bolts on the right?
Is there a screw in the corner on the right side I can see?
I think the 2 of the 5 on the left hole a plate in place on the under side, do you know what this plate is for?

Once I know what that plate is for I may just do 3 bolts on each side as I am not using wood for the floor.
Thanks

The pics are all from  the right side of the bed. The 3 bolts are in front of the wheel well, where as the five with the screw are behind. The two that are close in the behind pic, are that way on the left side as well. So I guess that is normal, not so sure about the screw. I didn' look under for a plate, I'll look.

[FuzzFace2]

Ok now I know why that screw is in the picture, it goes into the rear cross brace/sill.

I need a picture of the left front bolts in front of the wheel hump.
I am told there are 5 bolts 2 of witch hold a plate. If you still have that plate can you tell me what it does?
Thanks

OK Ill get a pic. I do think there were more bolts, but I figured they were added at some time  LOL

Here's what the underside of my truck looks like in that area. There is no plate, just a bracket support for the fender.
