How many bolts mount a wooden LWB bed
I was under my truck just looking to see what it's going to take to replace the wood, and noticed that what looks like two of the front mounting points don't have bolts in them.
The question is: How many long bolts mount a LWB wooden bed to the frame. Is it 6 or 8? Mine has 6. The ones I'm talking about are the ones that use the large offset washers |

Re: How many bolts mount a wooden LWB bed
Ok , thanks to both. I found the othe two ( I have a truck box, so it hid the two in front). The reason for the original question is that there's two mounting brackets, with holes about in the middle of the front bolts.

Re: How many bolts mount a wooden LWB bed
I just got to thinkin.
Maybe the extra perches are for mounting a Suburban body? That would make sense. Last edited by custom10nut; 04-28-2017 at 01:28 PM. Reason: Spelling |

Hmm... Don't I see 10? Looks like 8 present and 2 locations left front w/o bolts in place. Different for Longhorns?

Re: How many bolts mount a wooden LWB bed
You're right, I didn't look close enough, it's hard to see on the driver's side... but you are 100% correct, there are TEN. I fixed my post.
