Step 2- Refer to Fig. 2
Insert the Upright Support (6) into the top of the Front Upright Support Bracket. Set them into position
in the truck bed. If there are ribs on the floor of the truck bed, ensure that the foot of the Upright
Support is set securely on a rib. It may be necessary to reinsert the Upright Support into the Front
Upright Support Bracket in 90 degree increments to find a secure position. Make sure that there are
no obstructions underneath the foot plate.
With the Upright Support inserted, attach the Front Upright Support Bracket (2) to the front of the truck
bed using three 3/8" Hex Bolts (A), three 3/8" Flat Washers (D), and one Backing Plate (L). Position
the foot so that the Upright Support is plumb. Mark the two drill holes in the truck bed through the two
holes of the foot and drill two 7/16" holes. Attach the foot of the Upright Support to the truck bed using
two 3/8" Hex Bolts (A), two 3/8" Flat Washers (D), two 3/8" Lock Washers (E), and two 3/8" Hex Nuts
(F).
Step 3- Refer to Fig. 3
The Rear Upright Support Bracket (1) will be bolted to the vertical inside or forward face of the inner
bed wall around the rear stake pocket. With the second Upright Support (6) inserted into the Rear
Upright Support Bracket (1) and set plumb into the truck bed with secure footing, position the Rear
Upright Support Bracket so that the flange holes are near the center of the stake pocket as high as
possible to allow the ends of the bolts and nuts to be accessible. Mark the two drill holes on the inner
bed wall at the stake pocket through the two 7/16"holes of the bracket flange and drill the holes.
With the Upright Support inserted, attach the Rear Upright Support Bracket using 2 bolts (A), 2
washers (D), 2 lock washers (E), and 2 nuts (F). With the foot of the Upright Support (6) plumb, mark
and drill two 7/16"holes in the truck bed. Attach the foot to the truck bed using two 3/8" Hex Bolts (A),
two 3/8" Flat Washers (D), two 3/8" Lock Washers (E), and two 3/8" Hex Nuts (F).
