Better pictures. 3 (black circles) to the wood bed and 2 (purple circles) holding rail to bracket.
I do not have holes in my frame but I do like the idea of having the plate to frame so not having holes in the bed.
Edit. John on the last picture do you have the top bracket #3. This pic is from a previous post. On my studs I have just regular nuts. Guess I may need the lug nuts.
