Thanks

My bed is far from original so take my advice with a grain of salt. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2007 Posts: 63 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Oct 2007 Posts: 63 | done it , fabricated front mounts that are part of the front cross sill , so no mounts to be seen
back mounts are bolts inside the stock mounting brackets on the rear cross sill which are bolted direct to the chssis rails
only bolts seen in the rear are in the strips see my truck rear photo in the gallery
not difficult just another step in the rebuild process | | | | | Joined: Oct 2007 Posts: 63 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Oct 2007 Posts: 63 | forgot to mention , made my own cross sills that were also fixed to the chassis rails assisting the front and rear mounts . stainless strips are bolted to the cross sills all 72 of them, cross sills bolted to the chassis rails | | | | | Joined: Sep 2008 Posts: 39 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Sep 2008 Posts: 39 | Ok thanks,,, I think I have an idea now,, what a awesome looking truck,,really like the color combo,,, nicely done down under my friend!!!
