The only mention for Fleetside dimensions on the Ole Trucks website states,
"there are 12 boards ranging from 5" to 7" in width." The actual width of
boards can be figured by measuring between the bolt holes in the cross bed
supports, allowing for the bolt width and subtracting some for movement.
The dimensions of the groves listed on the site shows how the dados need to
be cut to for the bed strips to be located and held in place.
