Thanx Les
on my bed i drilled out the bolts on the side angles that the bolts are fuzed in there and the angle itself is spotwelded to the bedside(because they were all breaking off) so i was able to slide the wood under the angle and then drill the holes in the wood to slide carriage bolts thru. i was watching a re-run of that show "trucks" the other day and how they got around takeing the angle out, they made a notch/slot in the wood that slides under the angle next to each bolt so they could get the wood far enough under the angle so the bed strips line up in the grooves when you install the wood i figure you might need to do the same trick when you install yours.
