37 pickup bed frame
 

Does anyone have a picture of the bare frame for a 37 bed mounted on a chassis with the wooden blocks correctly placed underneath? A shot of a complete bed on frame from underneath might also work to point me in the right direction. Thanks.

I don't know if these are right, but it was the only way that made sense to me

was this helpful?

Yes, thanks Scott. So u put the bolt right through the bed floor where there is no cross member in the bed frame? I was originally thinking it goes through the bed cross member it front of the gas tank but that didn't make sense when I tried it. Did u also put a bolt through the bed floor and into that cross member? Thanks again for your help.

Maybe these will help some. These are for 40-41. Don't think there is much difference.

If you are using a reproduction bed -- early ones did not have the right angle for the frame of the bed matching the contour of the vehicle frame
There is suppose to be a rear cross member between the rear frame rails.
There should be 4 mounting places on each side of the bed. Three use the special head bolts with the square hole in them and the last one (at the end of the bed toward the cab) was a carriage bolt.

1935-37 the rear mount bolt through the block was just in the middle of the bed, no crossmember.

1938-41 are quite a bit different... they have wood cross blocks front and rear.

although the cab wood is similar, the earlier 35-37 beds did not use wood crossmembers at either the front or rear, just two little support blocks at the rear.
