Hello Gents!
I'm putting together the bed for 1952 B3-PW. I'm running into a problem with fitting the bed wood under the bed strip on the back end. The cab side has a proper 3/4" gap. The back is only about a 1/2" but I believe this is due to the rear cross member not being bent to a 90deg angle. If I fasten the 4 bolts holding the crossmember to the "L" support bracket. Then the top lip of the cross member is on an angle to the bed and about 1/2" gap.

I've attached a link to a video which might be clearer than my explanation.

All the parts are from Tisdale Coachworks.

Do you guys agree the issue is the cross member or am I doing something wrong?
