The pine boards in my '48 were very rotten when I disassembled a year ago and I mde no attempt to keep them or even record the widths. The cross rails have multiple hole and impossible to determine correct widths. I have the 8 oak boards from a friends project, that are still in good condition. Have obtained one extra from a local sawmill.

Question is. What are the widths of each of the 9 boards in a '48 PU? I can cut/rip what I have to the correct width.
 
9 boards width

4 1/4"
5"
5 1/2"
5 1/2"
6 3/8"
5 1/2"
5 1/2"
5"
4 1/4"

Measurement should be the same as the holes in your "cross rails".
