One more little detail... I noticed that the front fasteners that bolt the front panel to the sides on the original equipment were pan head screws. The kit came with hex head... should these be the pan head to be correct?
Then do you think that these would have been painted from the factory? (the bed being pre assembled then painted).

Thanks again.
