The bed needed to be re-worked to sit on the new frame and match the body lines of the cab. Adam carefully cut the cross-braces from the bottom of the bed, then welded in new steel to reinforce the supports.
This channel allowed for the bed to sit lower on the frame.
New bed supports were attached to the Lightning frame to match the ‘69 bed mounts.
