Power Wagon rock sliders on Tradesman

[fyremanbill]

I'm sure its been done, but didn't see it with a search. I see 6 hex shaped holes in the right place, but there is no plate nut attached to the truck body. Looks close to impossible to get a nut and washer into the body channel behind where the 6 holes are. Has anyone done this and know of a solution, or how it was done on the PW?

I haven't done what you are speaking of but, I would say that those hex holes are for rivnuts.

I've used the round riv nuts with the serations, but haven't seen hex riv nuts.

Yeah, they are out there. As a matter of fact they came with the Mopar tonneau cover that I put on the ol lady's Gladiator.

@fyremanbill Would this get you were you want to go? Its from Go Rhino

I think it might.

I’ve done it, on my current truck. Used rivnuts . Love how they blend in however, after the home remodel is done randy Ellis or the maple sliders will be going on.

I've found the correct rivnuts for the 6 larger bolts that go into the back side of the rocker box. Can't see where the smaller (m6?) bolts go. Does anyone have pics or an exploded View?
