Assembling the wood bed

I made a time lapse video of me assembling the wood bed on my truck. One tip I have to make the assembly easier is to use blue painters tape to hold down the carriage bolts while you thread on the nut from the bottom.



Here is the finished bed.

looks like you were looking at a manual at the time you were installing the bed.

if so, where can i get one?

nice job on the bed...

Guy,

Thanks! What I was looking at isn't really a manual. It's a three ring binder of notes, drawings and instruction sheets for various parts. What I was looking specifically in that video was drawing I made when I took apart the bed showing the placement of the cross-beams and bolt holes. I can scan it and put it on the blog if you want a copy.
