What are the possible outcomes?

Never fails it is so easy to over look the simple yet we all tend to do that time to time.

The bed was off for the frame repair maybe not? Which would mean those bolts were just removed.

In my part of the world if the bed comes off it will need new hardware.

 

I think the guy may have tried to remove it an just quit

 

I have a small feed barn full of olllld tongue an groove 1 inch cherry and chestnut that if done right might look pretty dang good. Working with metal isnt my thing but working with wood I can handle.

 

Would probably be the most expensive bed on a Tacoma known lol

 

I had to sign papers the only wood I can touch goes in the wood stove!

Metal is my choice!!

 

That old american chestnut and cherry might look pretty cool. I have had people offer me plenty for it but reckon ill never part with it so would be a good use for it. But now thats a project that would take some planning and ALOT of saw blades.

 

Something I just like about this one thats tongue an groove made

 

So The bolt is shot holding my bed on the drivers side far rear. I took a stout C Clamp and screwed it down as tight as possible an noise is gone. I am gonna have to cut it out with my Milwauke haczall and just buy a heavy nut bolt an washer and screw it back together soon but for now noise is gone. Thanks for all the suggestions guys
