Just a little tip on bedwood. The factory attached the bed on TF trucks
with a carraige bolt and a offset washer . If you bolt the bed down and just
use the cross sill mount and the frame you end up with no bolts
and countersunk holes for the washers. It makes the inside of the bed
look really smooth but most ppl never even see it.
