67 C10 steel bedside install question

[hugger6933]

Best I recall the sides are on top of the floor. Set it up on there and start a few bolts in the front panel and the rear "box" support. Then put a few in the side it self and a few in the wheel well. I think I would put both sides on and fit the tailgate before going too far. The bed came with the bedside held by a weld tack in the back by the floor" the old one I mean". The reason for the gate install is to check the bed to make sure it is square so both gaps at the back are even up and down. Once the gaps look good to you start by tightening some bolts do a couple on each side and keep an eye on your gaps to make sure thy havent moved. I mostly have been putting on the newer style bedsides[ newer truck I mean] where they are all welded only bolts are a handful in the back box support. This may not be what you wanted if I misunderstood I'm sorry. Good luck happy sanding and I think your making not only a cool truck but memories with your girl . Priceless. My dad loved what I was doing in my shop so much he started hanging out and we ended up being each others shadow for 35 years before he died a couple years ago. Jim
