The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Tons 'o Fun bed question

am i putting these on right?

Here's the picture.

jimbo 24,

It looks correct, I also have a 1 ton with a 9' bed. Get help with the bed sides, they are heavy and a bit awkward especially when trying to bolt them to the cross sills. Good luck with your truck. Tom

thanks tom. the last cross sill has a slit in the box, is that top or bottom

I was bad...I ordered an extra 1/2 ton bed rail...they were like half the price of those 1 ton cross-members....I cobbled everything together...in my way of thinking....this truck will never be used as a 1 ton is supposed to...

here too...

So far everything looks ok....

Still amazed the GM engineers wood use wood as spacers to hold a truck bed up...

my 2 cents...

great pics so what is holding back panel up

From what I can tell...there is a lip on the bottom of the front panel...I just set it on the top of the frame rail...I did add out riggers

This is not a stock Chevy truck but I work alone so I had to figure way to get the bed sides up on the truck alone...I put 6 of these on the truck...3 on each side..
