The ageing and rot and bolts all have the same rot pattern as each other it's identical and I don't think it would be like that if the angle strips where changed way later they would look to be in better shape then the bedsides. Was just thinking maybe they didbt have the stamped angles for a 9ft bed

The angle strips would have been the same for all trucks. Nothing like that from the factory. Someone has added the angle iron and metal floor. It may have been done early in it's life and that might explain the uniform pitting.....
