I'm not the person to ask that, lol. I made mine out of wood bought off a rack, and I used a dado blade on my shopsmith to cut the rail slots. My bed wasn't made to fit my frame - mostly because it is a 1956 89" box on a 1965 97" "Boxed" frame. I also cut off the OEM frame just in front of the rear wheels and built my own to accommodate the Tbird IRS.
So... Nothing fit.
and I ordered bedrails w/o holes, but they sent me ones pre-punched for the 89" bed. I had to hand-fab a whole lot more by myself and had nobody to help move the bed on & off the truck. I think a stock bed with a kit that fit, or even doing your own wood and buying the rails would be fairly straightforward - if you had a helper and could assemble it off of the truck.
