On the TF there is a rear sill panel that the box sides bolt to. I welded nuts to the sill because it’s tough to get to the inside now that I’ve rounded the bottom of the stake boxes. In hind sight I may go the other way and weld the sill to the box sides and go back to a bolt for the hinges. 1 bolt vs 3. I’m shooting for the cleanest look I can get. We’ll see
