Bed Bolt sizes???
« on: October 13, 2011, 09:09:06 pm »
Well finally I got to talk to my bodyman and he is ready to start work on my replacement bed for my white truck.  I am needing new bed bolts for it.  It is an 8 foot bed off a 1986.  Can anyone tell me the correct length so I can round some up before I actually need them.  Right now the bed is upside down on a flatbed trailer, he is going to straighten out the bottom half and when that is done I want to bolt it on my truck frame I made into a trailer so he can straighten the top half.  Thanks in advance

I jist did mine, IIRC there were 6 that were 8 inches long and 2 that were 10 inches long. I think the 2 longer ones were for the front.

                        It depends on the truck as GM moved the bed bolts around. I would get underneath and measure to be sure . I think bed bolt kits are available for these trucks.
