Bedwood - bold holes?
I was surfing the GMC Paul's site when I came across the best description of how to do bed wood that I've ever seen. They even had the dimensions of the edge cuts and a bunch of good wood treatment advice. What they didn't have is a set of measurements for the mounting bolt holes. Does anyone have a web address or a set of numbers?
(PS This month's copy of Classic Truck has a good article about preparing bed wood.) ------------------ Dream: '68 C-10 Custom with a 396 and a 700R4 Current Reality: '68 C-10, 250, 3 speed, parts in two garages, but lots of hope.

They very, thats why the ecentric washers are used. Most of the wood kits don't have the holes. You fit the kit to the truck.

Hey Paul, any data for a LWB? I finally found a "Forstner Bit" to drill the recess for the washers at Lowes. They're only about $7-$8.
Glad to see yer still around. Tried to call for some parts, but no answer. Figgered you were busy? ------------------ http://OhioDan.Freehomepage.Com
