Bed frame support bracket?

[bmoparmofo]

Hi, I have a 70 D100 Long bed. The passenger side front frame bracket support where there is a wooden block (?) is rusted out. Are they the same on all the years? I assume a previous owner left stuff in the bed the killed the bed floor and this one support. The sides of the bed are nice, the floor of the bed has holes and this support bracket is rusted through and the wooden block is missing because of it. It gives the bed a saggy sort of shifted look. I am not sure of the best solution for the bed floor and bracket. There isn't going to be anything solid around here for sale I am sure and shipping a complete bed would be expensive I would think. The sides on mine are fine, the perils of buying a farm truck I guess....lol Let me know what years will work for the bracket and what you think, thanks!

Any way you could post a picture of the rusted 'bracket' ?

Is this the piece of supporting metal that runs across the width of the bed?

It was the angle bracket held on by 2 rivets. He should have the parts in his hands as you read this or very soon.

Hi, yes I did get the bracket. I crawled under there for a minute today just to check things out. Its 8 degrees here so it was only a minute...lol It looks like I might have some more rust damage to the bracing under the bed there as well. I didn't take my phone with me under there to snap some pics. I will next time I get under there. I am not sure how much bracing there is in that area. I need to get a better look, hopefully I was just seeing things, but with my luck..........
