Note:
• If your pickup is fitted with a plastic drop-in bed liner, it may
need to be drilled, trimmed, or cut for proper installation of
truck box.
•
Truck box cover may not properly latch until box is fully bolted to truck bed (4) places.
• Because truck bed configurations vary, (6) mounting slots
have been provided, to ensure the use of (4) mounting
clamps.
• Periodically check tightness of mounting clamps to insure
proper attachment.
• Use touch-up paint on any drill holes to prevent oxidation.
• Install boxes with vehicle parked on level ground.
Step 1: LOCATE BOX IN TRUCK BED
• Place rubber mounting pads on bed rails.
Place box into position on top of mounting pads.
•
• Use ruler to ensure box is centered in truck bed, and
that cover opens fully without interference.
Check clearance
with cover open
Step 2: ATTACH BOX TO TRUCK BED
• Attach mounting clamp, bolts and washers as shown in
Figure 2.
• Start with slot at drivers side front and work clock-wise until
all four clamps have been installed.
Note: Mounting clamp bolt may be difficult to turn due to the
“lock nut” feature.
Apply a small amount of grease to
bolt threads prior to installation to ease assembly.
