LWB fleetside wood dimensions

Hi guys, I'm looking to see if someone can confirm the size of the wood bed planks for a lwb 72 fleetside.

I gotten the following info from gmcpauls but want to know if anyone can verify that it is correct. I will be ordering my wood to size and would hate to get everything too small.

3/4" x 7 7/16 x 97 qty6
3/4" 5 7/16 x 97 qty2
3/4" 6 3/8 x 34.5 qty2
3/4" 6 3/8 x 25 qty2

TIA.

I may have missed it but I have checked their website and have not seen anything like what I've posted. Only how to fit the wood, but not the actual dimensions of the planks.

Re: LWB fleetside wood dimensions

Not sure about exact for each plank, but do know it's about an 1" longer than 8 ft long. Because I went back with marine plywood in mine & ended up putting a piece of 1" square tubing at front to take up the gap from edge of plywood to header panel. But that being said I put bed together around the plywood & you'll need some clearance space to slip wood in already assembled bed panels, if that makes since.

I would go with GMC Pauls measurements. They are very knowledgeable about these trucks....
