6 For the cab, 6 for the bed. Keep in mind you will have to make up some type of support for the bed, where no mounts are but is (was ) supported by the frame. 4 speed or auto. Dont forget the linkages, or the t-case lever. Oh yeah, if you run a fan shroud, watch the location of the fan after you are done ( won't be in the middle any more ) The radiator goes up with the core support, and the engine does not. Watch out for the brake lines from the master cylinder. They get really tight after 2".

Thought rob's truck and h-boy were the same. After looking at mine again, I only have six. He could have more I guess. Would be a good idea to plan on a few more spacers to provide support in the areas that will be away from the frame. Fun to talk about, but maybe the best thing to do, would be to go jump under the truck, and look.

Mine must have been built on a friday. Only six bolts, and only six holes. Go figure.....
