Ok, sorry if this is in the wrong spot, but I couldnt really decide where to post it. Any way I tried to re-alighn the bed on my truck, because there was a huge gap on the driverside and a small one on the passenger between the bed and the cab. Well 3 broken bolts/4 bolts fused with the 3 inch lift blocks later, im kinda stuck. My plan is to call summit tomarow and order 4 new blocks and 6 new bolts (usually to me next day). Go to a dealership and get new clips as well. Might even clean it up a bit while im doing this (rust from living in michigan sucks!) So is this a good plan or what would you guys do differently. I kinda need to be up and running asap.

I know how much everyone loves pics so heres what I accomplished/ diddnt accomplish today.

Bed on the lawn..lol


My neighbor that help me lift the bed off, and my GF looking not so happy after I took the bed off.


A closeup of the rusty carnage, lol

 

If you intend to replace the bolt with the same things then you need to go to FORD, yes pay the price and hope they have them in stock.
I replaced my Styleside Bed with a Flareside and replaced the bolts/clips just for grins, only ones were from FORD.
If you need measurements of the bolts I can help you out, I have a set, not really good ones but I can do some measuring if needed.

Luck in the search,

 

Screw pics of the truck MOAR of the girl.

 

Well I did get the bed back on, I ended up making some bolts. They are an odd metric size, I used 7/16 for the front two, reused two of the old ones, and didnt use those clip/nut things and the last two and put half inch bolts w/ nuts on. It does the job, eventually I will look into ordering all new bolts and clips when I pull the bed back off to clean some stuff up. Until then this will do. I wont be able to get more pics, im in the doghouse as of the moment. Wasnt my fault, i didnt anticipate the bolts breaking lol (story of my life)
