There are 2 5/8" bolts that go down through 2 short spacers and into the roll bar. There is a picture of it on the truck in my 79 f-250 gallery.

That is nice... what type of paint do you use, and how does it hold up?

It's Sherwin Williams acrylic enamel, mixed in the body color.I use it on little things, it's faster then using bace/clear & holds up just as good.

I welded the ends to a old brake rotor & heated & bent it around, it's seamed in the middle of the bar.
