there are cheaper ones, just google "barrel bolt"

These are similar to what I used....just mount 'em and ditch the small piece. Then drill a hole into the big side post in the bedside and call it done. Simple and effective.

Truck is really looking cool, 4D.

joe231 · 05-15-2009, 12:41 PM

you could also use seat belt latches....

as far as rattles, you could drill the hole over-sized and put a rubber grommet in it to cushion the sliding bar

That's just not a hat rack you got there is it Joe??....

Thanks

jason65 · 05-15-2009, 12:55 PM

I'd get the ones from mar-k. So when your haulin a load it can take it. I could see haulin something and the sheet metal screws ripping out.

joe231 · 05-15-2009, 12:55 PM

Jason, what screws?
weld those puppies on!

I wouldn't be the only one on here with screws loose....
I do remember seeing the seat belts installed and I really thought that was a slick idea.

MacAttack · 05-15-2009, 01:04 PM

Good looking work, David!

And yes, real men's trucks rattle.
