Ever have a squeak that won’t go away? I heard it after I did my lift shackles. Gotta be the bushings or the bolt head wearing on the hanger… right? Nope. The thin bolt head self clearanced on the hanger, bushings were good, no tears, no weird contact. WTF is it?
It’s the missing bed bolt that I didn’t put in because the threads were so messed up. Tap that, install bolt. Squeak still present.
Oh. It’s the hack of a removal job I did on the bed braces rubbing on the C notch… old inner fender liner to the rescue.

My fault for doing a bad job. I should have stood the bed up and worked on it but it was just me doing the work last summer and I couldn’t have raised it myself once it was set in the barn. The next bed I get will be done the right way. Grind out the spot welds, repaint, and undercoat the whole thing.
This bed is too far gone for my liking. It will eventually be transplanted to my ‘92.
