Ranger Bed Bolt Part numbers?
#1
![Icon2](/rf/images/icons/icon2.gif)
While I am doing other stuff I am going to replace the bed bolts and clips.
Found them online. Problem is they don't specify length. I have the following part numbers/links.
Does anyone know which one is which? IE: Which one is the longer bolts that are attached at the front of the bed near the cab? Those are the two I really need to replace as mine were very rusty.

On Tasca Ford they have pictures of the bolts but I can't tell for the life of me which one appears to be slightly longer (by about an inch)

Not sure of length, but the 2 front bolts are longer than 4 back bolts
LMC truck has them listed here: Truck Parts and Truck Accessories
But no lengths, set just shows 2 longer 4 shorter
Found this in redranger4's post
2 Closest to the cab: 12m x 1.75 x 120 mm
Other 4: 12m x 1.75 x 100mm

Yea that's what I'm trying to find out and of course there is no information online anywhere indicating length...lol
Why couldn't ford simply list the length of the two bolts they have or on the diagram that they use show where it's located? Seems so silly to me. I am going to call the dealer in the morning but I doubt they will probably know.
I would pick them up from LMC but I have heard they are in fact not OEM bolts. I ordered a couple bolts from them in the past and they were not OEM. So I stopped ordering stuff from them.
In all reality I could probably use the rear bolts no problem but the front two that are longer I really want to replace. They have a significant rust/wear point in the middle of the bolt where rust has eaten away at them, making them thinner. My fear is putting them back in and snapping from the recommend torque. I'd rather just bite the bullet and pay the money to get oem bolts. These are like unicorns...lol

WHY... can't pigs fly... sorry that was another story.
Why can't these bolts be replaced with standard bolts of similar lengths ?
Is there a stop when tightening the OEM Bolts, that can be used for the Standard bolts too ?
I was thinking Standard Galvanized Bolts with Galvi Flats and BUT use a Self-Locking Nut... galvi too if they come that way !
Maybe you might find a Round Head Bolt while out there looking.
