Re: '52 chevy bed bolt question

I got 9/16 by 3 inch grade 8 bolts for the front cab. (Biggest bolt to fit through the hole)

The bed bolts have to be long enough to go through sills, wood block, frame.
So sills are what? 1 1/2?
2 inch wood blocks.
If you are going all the way through the frame add 6 inches to that. But just for transporting i would just secure to top part of frame. So i guess 5 inches would do. Cant go wrong with longer.
