Have started this mounting on my truck. Does anyone have any input or pictures so I don't typically have to do a redo?

 

Need to clarify. I like Drewskis set up. What I'm trying to do is avoid drilling thru bed.
I've thought about disassembling the latch and mounting thru it. Anyone done this?
Guess I could drill thru bed and paint bolts.

 

This is mine.








Sorry about the focus.

We're on the same sites today. Welded or hidden screens for fastening the receiver. It's errie how similar our tab mounting is.

 

I welded the mounting studs to the bed so that nothing would be showing on the outside. I didn't hide the mounting hardware behind the buckle portion since I needed them exposed so that my folding stays could use the same studs for attachment. After I figured out how everything would be mounted I dressed it up a little by using polished stainless nuts and bolts.

 

I bolted mine through the latch with a nut plate inside the stake pocket.
