Bill,
Here is an old message I had saved.

I have received a question about the purpose of the deeper groove in the
bedwood. Rather than try to explain it with words, I found a picture
showing how the metal wear strips sat in the grooves in the bedwood. I
have added that picture to my bedwood page and hope that it will clear
up any confusion. As I stated on the web page itself, if you are serious
about rebuilding your bed, the "Bed Restoration Manual" from most of the
ole truck vendors is a very good $4-$5 investment. Just in case you
didn't bookmark it
