Any particular truck? Bed length?

You can order the kit from LMC or any other supplier for just a few bucks and all flat washers, lock washers, nuts included.

I probably have an extra box of bolts in my garage.

Re: Carrage bed bolt sizes?

Thanks for the information but I know the fleetside bed bolts mounting the bed to the frame are at least 3 1/2 or 4 inches in length not sure if they are 3/8 or 1/2 diameter. I purchase my hardware where the body shops buy their hardware very reasonably priced and always on hand.

Ron,

They are 3/8" diameter. Not sure about the exact length but I have some in the shop I can measure in the morning if you don't get the correct length by then.

Missed seeing you guys at the show last weekend... Maybe next year.

Re: Carrage bed bolt sizes?

Bed appears to be 3 inches thick at the mount. I should be safe with 4's. 3/8 is what I thought they were but since mine were removed with a torch had no idea the size. Thanks for the help. 22 mile round trip ride helps to give the clerk a size without making another trip.

The ones I have are 4" so that should work.
