Question for Fleetside Owners

[OrrieG]

When I got home I looked at some more stuff. Mar-k has a bunch of technical articles on bed assembly too that I used for my info. http://www.mar-k.com/mar-k_technical_info.html

Thanks for the compliment on my build. I try to be complete. Usually not the only way to do something but because of my background I try to find the most "elegant" (in engineering terms) solutions, done inexpensively, with common tools. A lot of that comes from working with my Grandfather and Dad figuring out how to fix things with a few hand tools and an old stick welder.

You will figure it out, these were mass produced and built by regular guys that just had the benefit of better jigs to hold them in place when they bolted them together.
