looking for a drawing which shows installation and parts - seem to be missing crossmembers and unsure how many, etc. Also who sells matching bolts for box and fenders, Thanks for any help - after years I finally finished painting the cab and box and it was over 10 years ago when they were removed - I didn't take enough pics!!

What kind of truck box are you installing, a pickup or big truck, and what year? At the Ford dealer where I worked, we did get a few factory installed truck beds, by many were installed "in house" or sent to another dealer such as "Obeco", the Omaha Body places. Odd jobs, like wreckers and cement mixers, required a lot of improvisation to fit the frame. You will find lots of pickup bed parts on pages 326-327 of the C&G catalog. www.cgfordparts.com

There is a drawing in the Green book on page 147 of the truck frame. If you do not have the Green book, you can reference it on the NORG web site. http://norgv8club.org/norg/index.php/headliner-newsletters-and-tech-tips Truck boxes were usually made to the end user specifications and no parts drawings were in the chassis parts catalogs.
