i just won an ebay auction for a bed extender and if its like my sport trac which it looks like installs but a jam bolt in the bed.

now with my truck not having one installed by factory, can i just buy the jambolt from the dealer and have it taped in? or there another special way to get that jam bolt thingy in?

and yes, i bought a OEM ford bed extender!

any help would be appreciated!

 

Dunno'...your Sprot-Trac bed is narrower than you F150

 

i bought a oem one from ebay, for a f150. i'm just wondering how it installs and if its just jam bolts, where can i buy them at?!?!?!

 

The jam bolts bolt on. There should be a nylon insert in the middle hole to keep them tight.

 

Just did the same thing. The hardware was a special order from the dealer. Just had to pop the taillight off and attach the nut to the jam bolt and tighten up.

 

vtx1800,

could you give me more info like part number and etc and cost?!?!?! thanks man.

 

Can't help with part number since I threw away the receipt. I was unable to explain what I needed over the phone but when I went to the parts counter the parts guy had no trouble identifying it from an exploded view of the extender and hardware. Total cost was about around $20.

 

This way or the way I mentioned above, depends if your truck has the nylon inserts or not. I had a hard time getting the the jam bolts from service, but got them 2, 30torx head jam bolts cost me $12.
