With a long road trip coming up, I decided to reinstall the Gaylord hard cover that's been hanging on the garage wall for the last two years. Rather than losing the bed rails, I decided to mount them on the hard cover mostly for cosmetics. Turns out I really didn't need the open bed that much, and it's nice having the secured storage area again.

Instead of using oval head screws I opted to use pan head screws with stainless fender washers coming up from underneath, with chrome acorn nuts on top. They have a machined in flat washer on the bottom which nestles perfectly into the tapered hole in the brackets. They also add a little sparkle and go with all the other bullet shaped objects on the truck.
