Mine is a half ton but should be the same. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 406 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 406 | This is from our bed assembly instructions for the 47-51 Long Step:
"The long 3/8"-16 X 12" bed-to-frame bolts are used at the front pair of holes near the front bed panel." | | | | | Joined: Jan 2004 Posts: 10 Junior Member | | Junior Member Joined: Jan 2004 Posts: 10 | Thats what I thought but theres no hole thruogh the bottom flange on the left rail. It looks like the rear bolt on the right side could go through both flanges but then the bolt seems to long. For now I just bought another 6" bolt and put it in that front left hole. Thanks for the replys | | |
