The 1st. sill holes does not line-up to be bolted with the front bed plate holes(9 of them on leading edge of shelf for bed boards,they are facing rear of truck).The two holes on one side of sill look like they should be in play but do not line-up with holes in front bed plate!

Line up 9 holes in sill with 9 holes in front bed plate.Finished. | | |
