2. Find parallel rows of bed sill spot welds in bed of truck. No drilling should be done in the ~4” between parallel

rows of spot welds where the bed sill sits.

CAUTION!

Check for obstructions before drilling. Failure to do so could result in damaged fuel or brake lines, structural members, etc.

responsibility of the installer to prevent damage due to installation.
