Bolts and Sizes
How many bolts are required for a longbed fleetside bed to be mounted to the frame? And what size are they?

Re: Bolts and Sizes
I just bought some last weekend.. 3/8 is correct but not suure on the length. I just took an old one to Home Depot and got one that matched out of a bin that had a whole mix of sizes. I'd a guesses 4 inches, but I never was that good at esimating length. as for fenders, do you mean front inner / outer?

Re: Bolts and Sizes
Well I got the inner and outer fenders part but does anyone know about the bolts for the bed what lenth are they and what do they look like? Do they use the rounded head and then just a nut on the otherside of the frame bracket?

Re: Bolts and Sizes
My 68 had 8 of the 3/8 by 4 inch carriage round head bolts, my 70 had 6 of the 3/8 by 4 inch and the front two bolts were 7/16 by 4 inch for some reason, the squares in the floor are larger for the front on the 70 also. Use a thick flat washer, locknut and nut underneath. now I think the factory bolts were grade 5 (3 line), I guess you could use common hardware store grade 2 bolts, but if you can get the stronger ones for a few bucks more why not ?
