Good morning. I can't locate the recommended torque for the front axle U bolts. any help would be appreciated. Could also use the torque for the rear U bolt but working on the front Right Now. F100 1/2 ton. Thanks, Matt

You shouldn't have to look far on the internet to find a generic torque table for the size of bolts

I have a Bedrug product called BedTred, but it looks like its called Bedrug Impact liner. Mine is very similar to this. The floor is the same and the walls are the same as the floor. No fibers to clean this off/out of. Overall it seems durable, I can shovel off of it and slide pavers around on it as long of there is a bit of dirt and/or debris under the paver. Seems like it would be easier to clean than a bedrug and almost as nice to sit or kneel on. I think the Bedrug looks nicer, but for me the liner i have is more practical.

I still have it, too. WAY before any thought was given to too much grounding or electrical safety, solid cast metal housing and wood handle. Data plate. Real equipment always has a data plate. Seems like it weighs about 20 pounds, better eat yer Wheaties before busting this thing out. Has a nice staid, relaxing low RPM. Gramps must have trimmed the cord with it too at some point back in the '40s or so, been repaired with electrical tape. LOL
