Hi Roger,
I bought a entire repop bed and lucky for me mine lined up almost perfect It would have been a shame to have to elongate them and then try to conceal that mess with the 2 at the top are threaded in and then the additional down each side( I used stainless pan/hex head bolts seen in the pic). I did put it all together for fitment purposes before I sent it for paint Im going to dig out some pics of my original bed was OEM and see if that one looked like yours
regards
Jess
PS I taped them up on the outside of the head board (what you see blue and white tap) so as not to scratch the cab. I have to remove it one more time before perm install
