Bed installation - parts I should have? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm in the process of taking the bed off my truck to replace the gas tanks, and maybe clean up the frame a bit while I'm under there.

Four of the bed carriage bolts spun while I was trying to remove them, so I need to repair the bed floor opening. I see in my Chevy Duty catalog that there are washers available with an offset square hole. Are these something that's already installed on the underside of the bed that I should plan on buying? I also noticed a bed mounting pad kit that I'll get. Aside from the bolts, nuts, washers and this pad kit, is there anything else that I should plan on buying?
