Default 1936 1/2 ton

New to the group! Need help assembling a recent purchase. Replaced small wood blocks underneath cab with a wood kit. Ordered wood blocks for the bed but I sure can’t figure out how and where they go. Currently there a two small blocks at the most forward corners of the bed.

On the 35 and 36 pickup bed there are blocks at the rear corners of the bed. One on each corner. No other wood supporting the bed. There are woven cloth pads between he bed and the frame where the bolts go through. I can't post pictures or I'd post a picture of the blocks under the rear of the bed on my truck. Somebody help him out here.

Great shot Zeke. That and my directions should clarify it for him. Your photo just confirms my fading memory was correct. LOL Thanks for enlarging it Pete, like you ALWAYS do. Lawson

My thanks also! Not ready for the box yet, but had been puzzling about where these blocks were installed.
