Bed bolt hole location - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

KVB · 01-28-2018, 08:13 PM

I am looking for the location of the bolts that hold the bed down on the frame, particularily the rear ones.

If someone has a picture of the location, or a sketch, or knows of a website where i can see the info it would be greatly appreciated

The truck is a 65 GMC short stepper, but bolt hole placement should be the same for a wideside.

Thanks

Rear ones run through the rear bed cross sill from the top, fits in the hole furthest rearward with a pad between the cross sill and frame

Are the steppers different than the fleetside? Fleetsides didn’t come with any pads between frame rail and cross braces. Direct metal to metal.
