Looking for Bed bolts
Am in the need of some bed bolts. I know that Dennis Carpenter sells their kit of the proper shanked bolts but i have a 1978 Super Cab with an Aux tank and I need two that are the blind style that have clips on the frame. Can't seem to find anyone who supplies these. Anyone know of any?
Also had the thought of converting to a later style that all installed from the top. Was worried they stuck up too high or the clips didn't fit on the frame. The local dealer showed me what they had and it was some self-tapping bolt that fed into an un-tapped nut-clip. Thought that was kinda cheesey and pretty expensive to purchase the set!

I really can't answer that. The parts catalog just says "truss head". I would call Green Sales and ask them, they're usually pretty good with getting an answer. It may take them a bit though, they'll have to get the part and physically look at it.
