Pictures of the top and bottom especially the bottom to reference the cross members. As for the new wood it's always best to "break" the edges with some sandpaper. This will allow for more finish at the edges. Unless you were going the rustic route then disregard the previous sentence. Make sure to measure across corners to make sure the bed is square before drilling holes in the edge boards. Leave all bolts loose until the last board and strip are in place. When everything is in place and looks good snug up the bolts.
