Bolts For Bed Wood Strips

Bolts For Bed Wood Strips

Within the Chassis & PU Bed system, bed strip bolts secure the bed floor structure by fastening the metal bed strips and wood boards to the crossmember. This category supports 1932-1979 Pick Up applications where the bed floor assembly relies on a series of bolts passing through the bed strips, wood boards, and crossmembers to hold the entire structure together.

The bed floor is built as a layered system. Metal bed strips run between the wood floor boards, and bolts pass through both components to clamp the floor assembly tightly to the crossmembers below.

Original bed floor hardware is commonly rusted, stripped, or missing after decades of use. It is also common to find mismatched fasteners from earlier repairs that do not match the original bolt length or head profile. Improper hardware can prevent the bed strips from seating correctly and may allow the wood boards to shift slightly under load.

Correct bed strip bolts restore the mechanical clamping force that holds the cargo floor assembly in place.

The Bolts For Bed Wood Strips subsystem secures the bed strips within the Chassis & PU Bed system by fastening the metal bed strips and wood boards to the crossmembers beneath the pickup bed.

A Bed Strip Bolt Kit for 6 1/2 Ft. Strips w/Holes provides the mounting hardware used when the bed strips are manufactured with pre-drilled holes for bolt placement. Where strips are supplied without holes, a Bed Strip Bolt Kit for 6 1/2 Ft. Strips wo/Holes allows the installer to position and drill the strip locations during assembly.

Longer pickup beds use a Bed Strip Bolt Kit for 8 Ft. Strips wo/Holes, which accommodates the increased strip length and the corresponding bolt spacing required across the bed floor.

For installations where both the wood boards and the bed strips are being installed together, a Bed Wood & Strip Bolt Kit for 6 1/2 Ft. Strips w/Hole provides the coordinated hardware required to secure the floor structure as a complete assembly.

Wear and service issues typically appear as rusted bolt threads, rounded heads from repeated removal, or bolts that are too short to properly clamp the wood boards and strips together. When the correct hardware is missing, bed strips may sit unevenly and the floor boards can loosen over time.

Fitment will vary by model and year.
