Well over a month later and almost no progress. Working from 0400 to 2100 with only Sunday off leaves very little time for the truck. Today I was able to drill out some holes, but the new 9/16th U Bolts need to be bent in about 1/8th to fit. About 50 whacks with a BFH on concrete barely made a difference, so I have to take the U bolts on post to the auto craft shop whenever I can. Ill post pics when done for anyone interested.
