Set the first assembly [A] on the bed of the truck on the driver's side near the cab.

This step is shown with the small bungee box for the 6' bed. If you are installing on a 5.5' bed, there

will not be a bungee box, and you will only use one of the section cap [E] per side.

If you are installing on an 8' bed, the bungee box will be longer than what is shown

below, but will install in the same way.

Assemble the sections as shown below.

The tabs in the section cap [E] fit into

the extrusion as shown in this figure.

When installed to outside profile of the

section cap will match the extrusion

profile.
