Thanks DP.
I removed and replaced the passenger fender today. I realized the cab was all jacked up in the mounts. I left the bottom of the cab and core support mounts off so everything is just floating at the moment. I want to loosen the bed mounting bolts and try to get everything lined up horizontally first and then add shins if/where needed.
Question: Are the OE bed mounting bolts carriage style heads? The PO had the bed LineX'd and I can't easily see any head bolts. Someone mentioned T-Nuts and that threw me off.
And...are the nuts accessable without removing to he saddle tanks?
