But then the owner had us put the wood floor over them and we had to clearance the wood to lay on top of the bolts. So in 5 years when the truck came back for work, we had to pull the floor to pull the bed without scratching any of it. It sure looked cool having no mounting bolts in the floor though.

    Yeah sometimes we have to give up ease of installation for the cool factor.lol

    With the help of my buddies I was able to get the bed on the truck today.
