STEP 6 – [Hardware Kit B]
Remove the board (if used) from between bed & cab and insert the
B lack anchor plate. Start (do not tighten) all 4 bolts through guide
plate into threaded holes in black anchor plate.
Hint: The bolts will start easier if prior to installation
on truck, you run the bolts or a 3/8 -24 tap through the threaded holes
in the anchor plate to clear paint from the threads.
Once all bolts are started remove the screw
in position A or B (if used) then tighten all 4 bolts.
