Ok I am getting ready to reassemble. Looking for advice on drilling and bolting the two L shped rails to the metal sides? How many bolts, where should they be, and any reccomend bolts?

Thanks, Denis

I think originally, they were welded to the sides ? You didn't say if you are going stock or modified look. I used polished stainless strips. On mine, they laid up tight against the side, and only bolted thru the bed. Looks OK

Here is a link to our online 47-53 angle strip installation instructions http://www.mar-k.com/37-53anglestrips.pdf.

This should answer all of your questions. Best of luck with your build.
