Before I drill the wrong size holes in my new floors, which I almost did, are the 4 body bolts that go thru the surface where your feet, toolbox and tank are they just 5/16" carriage bolts? _________________ Brett

That's great Wes. I had looked at the the parts list earlier and tried to make sense of the 1-6 thing and was confused to only see one set of squarenecked (carriage) bolts. That pic helps as to whats what.
I'm surprised they had hex head bolts on the open floor to snag your boots on? No biggie.
thanks again. _________________ Brett

OK, another question. Are these holes supposed to be there? The ones that go thru the bottom of the side supports had bolts in them but I cant make sense on what they would do. The section of hat channel that is under that area also has a hole as well. I took a look at some after market hat channel pics and they have the same holes on those outer arms. There is no frame there and the channel gets welded to the tub so why would there be a need to bolt the body to the hat? I'm sure I'm missing something and you guys will let me know.
Thanks
