I guess it probably doesn't really matter which way they are oriented. The underside of the original bed in the picture is too far gone to determine which way the washers were installed. I don't agree with 1930-pickup about the grooves or the "bit into the wood". The washers can't move much either way - either between the planks or in the grooves.

I can' quite read the writing...does it say what year bed this is?
Would the underside wood grooves have been used for all years that Ford used this type of bed?
Do modern replacement bed wood kits have grooves on both sides of the boards?
