Thanks to Nate, and to all of you who answered my question about the
flasher. I had incorrectly assumed that one terminal was right and the other
was left, so my thinking started out all wrong. I understand now.

Hi everyone.
Am going to use a local hardwood supplier to replace bedwood. I can do the
cutting, drilling, counter sink etc, but my burning question is:
What function does the offset washer play in the bed bolts. The Bed Restoration
Manual implies that it is to keep the bolt from turning while be
Ken, with out he offset washer the bolt will turn when tighten the nut, The
head of the bolt has a carriage bolt square that fits into the washer. By
having the hole off set from the center will cause the washer to bind up in the
counter sink, letting you tighten the nut.

Good looking truck. Seems like you may have shared before, but it still looks
great. I know the purist don't care for the "mods" to stock, but I really like
the looks of the Trex. That is on my list for when I replace beds in my trucks.
Thx

Hi Ken,
Your truck bed looks superb! That trex should outlast the truck itself. Would
you happen to have the part numbers of the bolts you bought from the Bolt
Depot? My truck box did not come with any bolts for comparison sake so any help
in that area is great

the cab, hood and doors have been painted green. It might be a factory color.
Were there a lot of paint colors available? all of the interior metal is
striped metal, what color would the metal inside have been painted?
