Bed Hardware
When I purchased my '79 roller, the bed was not bolted to the frame. What size hardware is needed to bolt in the frame? It appears to use carriage bolts, correct? Is there any other hardware involved?
Thanks, Jon D. |

Re: Bed Hardware
if I remeber right there isn't, and I think they need to be 6" or 5.5" something like that and you might want to have someone help you when you bolt it down have someone stand in the bed with there foot on the bolt cause if the hole is alittle rounded they just spin. you can get them at lowes or about any hardware store

Re: Bed Hardware
The front bolts are longer than the rear, but yea it's just carriage bolts. I agree with the lmc kit, all hardware needed in one kit.
