Bed Bolt Tightening order
Well I received help recently here on the amount of torque to tighten the bed bolts in my F350 (129 lb), but perhaps I should have also asked is there a specific order to tighten—and if so what order ?

I’m not 100% sure the Linex installers did when completing their
job. I guess I’ll find out soon . I will be doing my first run in a gooseneck trailer with a load of 20+ head of cattle on a 1000 mile round trip in a few weeks. I thought it might e prudent to check before that trip.

Probably not spacific order, but on most things you always start at the middle and work out.
Remember the is some room for adjustments in the bed bolts so check for cab to bed alignments before and during the first few bolts.
