Ladder rack con.......

 

Well after the paint had dried it was time to install. After removing the truck box and all the hardware which was added to aid in securing loads, the ladder racks were attached. All though the rack system had a drill free mounting system daddy Dave still had to pre drill some holes for the truck box.

here we have some mods that were made to the cargo tie down system. I had to cut notches in the side supports in order to clear the new brackets on the ladder rack system.

here you can see the cut out notches and there intended purpose.

Here's a finished look of the inside of the truck bed. The tool box reinstalled and the cargo tie down system back in place.

and here we have the ladder rack ready for business. But how did momma Mandy's back get so dirty(last post). Well when daddy Dave was reattaching the tool box he needed a smaller thinner hand to slide a bolt into place, and Mandy's arm was just right....so she laid on her back in order to get the job done.....thanks Mandy .....team player.
