And a ground strap or two.

The ground strap depends on year. On a '97 it's near the right front of the bed. My '95 does not have one. There are 8 bolts on my '95. It's a good idea to take a picture of how the wiring attaches to things in the rear with plastic clamp plugs that push into holes. If any after market wiring mods have been done without pull apart connectors they may be a hassle.

JRunkal,



My factory service manuals also caution you to use NEW bolts when re-installing the bed. It doesn't say why.



Good luck,

Loren
