mounting my box today on a '48 chev 3/4 ton. everything i've read is that the 2 long bolts go at the front right through the frame, but only the right side has a hole through both flanges of the frame. has anybody else run into this problem?

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."

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
