I will double check tomorrow but I think that is the hole that doesn't have a bolt in it on mine. There isn't a matching hole in the bed floor. I may not be back on 'til late tomorrow night. We will be painting the inside of my bed tomorrow evening.

OK the hole that is rectangular does have a bolt in it and it is to one end of the hole so I don't know why it is rectangular. There is a regular hole closer to the wheel well that doesn't have a matching hole in the bed so no bolt in it...

OK, I took pics in front of the wheel wells but I forgot you said "behind" too. Anyway, maybe this will help. They are hard to see because the paint is so shiny so I labeled them.... The passengers side wheel well is on the right side of the first picture.

Is this a wood floor bed? The sills are welded to the steel floors.

The pics I posted may not work for you then. That's why it's always a good Idea to include all of the info you can when requesting help on something...

I don't know about being in the same spot but all of the cross sills on a steel floor are welded to the underside of the floor. If you can get your hands on an LMC catalog it may have a picture of the sill layout for the wood floors.
