Just wanted to check in before I get a bunch of bolts in the wrong place. I'm finishing putting the wood in my bed, and I want to check with everyone to make sure I put the right hardware in the correct location.

This is for a 65 LWB fleetside.

Here's what I got:

Here's what I think, please correct me if I need it.

- large bolts through the side bed flanges, and through the wheelhouse flanges that are parallel to the bed sides. These bolts go through the wood, and are backed by a medium washer, lock washer, and nut.

- small bolts go through the strips. Some go through crossmembers. All are backed by large washer, lock washer, and nut.

Thanks for your thoughts!

Jason.
