[QUOTE="markfuga, post: 1405034, member: 10964"] Finalized the installation of the bed today so figured I'd share the secrets. The two rear bolts (near the tailgate) and the two bolts close to the shocks line up in the holes already in the 96 frame. The holes close to the front of the fuel tank do not line up but are easily re-drilled into the frame. Unfortunately the bolts move back and outward which puts them further into the "pocket" of the cross member for the fuel tank. The original location was already hard to access, so now it's a little tougher :fustrate: (see red arrow). The forward two bolts are actually set inward in the bed (the 78 frame narrows) and don't line up over the frame rail at all. I had to weld some half-round tabs onto the frame to allow me to drill new holes. You can see the holes are right on the edge of the frame. I made the the tabs bigger than needed because I didn't know exactly where the holes would end up. [/QUOTE]
