The wood on the sides and tailgate were never replaced. He bought the bought the kit and its ready for installation this weekend. The retaining bolts are 1/4". Does anybody know which size hole that the factory drilled into the sides and tailgate? I'm thinking 5/16" or perhaps 3/8" to allow room for any easy fit. Any suggestions? Thanks, Tony Tony Retired Mopar Enthusiast
