Bed to frame fitting

[48Dodger]

1948-53  Dodge Truck:

 

There's a U bracket that all the front sheet rest on. The U bracket rests on the cross member for the engine.

The U bracket is shimmed with washers to bring the front fender and doors jams inline with each other.  

I've never seen more than 2 or so washers per post.
