Default pickup bolt hole location???

Say is the hole in the outer flange of the box supposed to line up with the hole in the frame bracket , see photo, it is almost 2 inches off with the cab positioned correctly and can't move the box forward anymore?? it is a 29 ccpu.

Yes, the hole in the rear cross member should line up with the hole in the bed. You should have the wood sills that Bob C posted on your bed. No worries, the wood sills would not be seen in the photo you posted and the holes should line up anyway.

I suggest that you post a photo of your cab, so we can see what is going on. Have you tried to fit the hood? Sounds like the cab may be too far toward the rear. Do you have a pickup cab made out of a converted sedan?

The cab is original, the two holes in the front of the cab line up, dropped a couple bolts in the holes, went to dry run the box and noticed the dilemma, I have a couple more boxes and a T box, will have to measure to see what's what.

Alright got it figured out, the cab was not poistioned correctly, the rear hole in the front cab subrails lines up with the front hole in the frame bracket, then everything falls into place.
