Continuing on the goal of getting the bed wrapped up, it's time to get it mounted permanently. Because I have some special plans for the bed wood, I needed a way of mounting the bed without seeing the hardware. Like some many things on this truck, since I built a new chassis most of the stock solutions will not work. One of the stock items we did use are the supports for the bed floor although modified! My plan was to use captured nut plates welded into the bottom of the factory support and then bolt up through the chassis brackets and viola! Mounted! That simple plan required alot of work!

Because its' never a good idea to bolt through tube steel due to crushing, I added sleeves to the tubing created a proper bolted joint.



The photo I forgot to take was the 3/4" OD 1/8" wall tube slug I used as the sleeve.



Here are the steps in building and attaching the captured bolt plates.









Next time, I'll see if the holes line up! Thanks for looking!

I've built a few of these trucks. Always nice to see a nice one come together.

Keep up the good work.

Maybe we can come together and show these care guys what a good truck can do... then again, one of my current projects is a 2nd gen Camaro.

I have a 69 Camaro too!

After checking out your build, I think we'll give a few of them a run for their money!
