1) On my 56 bed, there are two - looks like stake holders at the very back of the bed (tailgate end). They have holes in them that line up with the frame. I assumed that there were bolts there at one point. Because the stake holders are "V" shaped, a washer wouldn't seat flat so I ground it down to fit. I then installed two bolts with lock washers. I tightened them lightly with just my fingers to start.
2) I then went to the two bolt holes at the front of the bed and put long punches down into the holes to line up the bed.
3) I took a measurement under the bed from spring "U" to the edge of the wheel on both sides.
4) I installed bolts at the front of the bed. Before I tightened them I put the punches into two other holes to keep alignment. Then I tightened the two bolts... wnet back to the back two and tightened them.
5) Repeated the process with the remaining four bolts. | | |
