Just purchased a wood bed kit from Mar-K and will be installing it in the future on my 67 C10. It has pre-drilled bed to frame holes, but the wood to bedsides/wheel wells will need to be drilled. What size drill bit is the right size for those holes?

Went to the Mar-K website and they have instructions. They state that you should use. 3/8” drill through the wood after you lay out the hole locations during the mock up. If you got the kit from them. There should be instructions included for best assembly results. Good luck!
