hi guys
i'm getting close to getting the 51 running. we fire up the motor this week. I'm getting ready to fit my lumber rack and the front width of the posts fits. that measurment has not changed. when i got the free rack i measured the pockets at the front and found it would work fine. i cut the old free rack posts off and made my own. the rack is in 5 parts now, the rack and four posts that will all get bolted together. the posts get bolted into each pocket, the rear of the bed @ the pockets is about an inch+ wider than the measurement of the front post pockets. thus the rack falls short in width to fit the posts.
my question is .... HOW to fix this?
i think i need/will have to loosen all the bed bolts, fenders, bed sides to bottom in order to bring the bed sides 'in' so the posts will
fit the rack. then re-tighten everything.
Am I correct in this thought??
