Can anyone post a photo of where the wooden & rubber Uteline bed to frame spacers go so I can mount my newly painted bed on my frame? My D100 was originally a 383 Sweptline that the 2nd owner sold the beautiful bed & replaced it with a Uteline bed. So, I only found one wooden spacer when we removed it & got the correct rubber mount spacers but need to get or make wooden ones. Thanks in advance!...

Are you sure about the wooden spacers? That doesn't seem like some thing the factory would do.

I know my 71 W100 Swepty 4x4 has wooden spacers & I found one in the box of uteline bed parts & a google search brought up swepline.org posts that described uteline wood spacer sizes, etc. I bought the reopop rubber cab & bed mount spacers, but wonder if the wooden one applies.

Turns out you're partially right. Utelines had no wooden spacers. Only the Sweptline beds had them. I got the new rubber mount kits from Easy Street LLC & they are all rubber ones for the Uteline. Looked under my 71 Swepty W100 & it has wood spacers.

To the best of my knowledge, the Utiline beds had a combination of wood (at frame mount points and at cross members) and rubber mounts. The sweptline beds used wood blocks only.

I think you're 100% right & the only wood mounting blocks needed for Utelines is for the step mounting setup, & I just discovered Dodge Connection sell the one I need.

On my LRE the rear bed crossmember required a spacer. The original was wood along with the step plates. Made mine outta nylon.
