I think they were 1/2 inch carriage bolts . I spaced my bed up about 1.25 inches with block plus the rubber insulators which are about 3/8" and the wood is 3/4", plus the height of the cross members, plus washers. I didnt buy the mounting bolts until the bed was in place then measured. teh holes are in the frame for the rear 6 bolts and the holes for the front mounting bracket are in the frame too and your truck should have those brackets already rivted to the frame. kinda self explanatory. In teh one pic I posted you can see the front bracket dangling off the crossmember. I dont know why someone woudl have removed teh rivets from the fram. I just bolted them back on.
