Socket size

[Bishop808]

What size socket do I need for a 2018 Silverado bed bolts and torque ? Also how far should the cab be from the bed.

Torque is "tight". They should be grade 10.9, so busting them off would take some serious effort.

 

In the past I think they were 18mm, or something close. ]

 

Shouldn't be that much adjustability in the bolt holes, so distance to cab shouldn't matter, so long as it's not touching.

There should be alignment pins on the frame to get the box in the correct spot. 

 

Not sure what size socket, but its an M12 fastener, so it might be a 15mm socket?  Could be larger or smaller.  Torque is 63 ft.lbs.
