Darkone:
I know that we called you on the phone, so we have already explained all of this to you, however we thought it would be helpful for others who might have the same questions, to see the answers below.
1. The instructions explain where the reinforcement strip (small cross sill) was to go in paragaph (or line) #26. However, we apologize that the instructions incorrectly stated there were 2 reinforcement strips instead of 1. Thank you for helping us find that and correct it.
2. The hidden bed to frame kit is for the bolts to go underneath the wood but on top of the cross sill/rear cross sill. Hopefully this image will help (look at the small inset).
In this year series, we include 2 bed-to-frame washers to keep the bolt head from falling through the rear cross sill because the hole is too large. The rest of the fenderwashers are made to go underneath the bed to hold the wood together where there isn't a cross sill to attach the bolts. These bolts and washers are all hidden from the top side of the wood and is made to work with our Bed Wood with Hidden Mounting holes. This wood has the area hollowed out for the bolts to sit beneath.
Hope this helps!
