Am I correct? | | | | | Joined: May 2015 Posts: 11,001 Housekeeping (Moderator) Making a Stovebolt Bed & Paint and Body Shop Forums | | Housekeeping (Moderator) Making a Stovebolt Bed & Paint and Body Shop Forums Joined: May 2015 Posts: 11,001 | I believe that's correct. I don't know if the repops have the same features, but they look different. There are lefts and rights also, but apparently only for the front bracket.
Just measured mine on my chassis. Front is ~18.5" frame to end, Center is ~17.5" and rear is ~15"

Yes I did notice that the fronts have a little bend on them so I need to determine which is right or left. They are not repops. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2021 Posts: 174 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Aug 2021 Posts: 174 | I just found an image in the assembly manual that I think I can determine which side is which for the front brackets | | | | | Joined: May 2015 Posts: 11,001 Housekeeping (Moderator) Making a Stovebolt Bed & Paint and Body Shop Forums | | Housekeeping (Moderator) Making a Stovebolt Bed & Paint and Body Shop Forums Joined: May 2015 Posts: 11,001 | The front brackets have a bend that angles toward the back of the truck. Hold the mounting surface against the frame and you should be able to tell easily which is which.
