yes, as indicated. ther are two side mounts. one for the long bed and on for the short bed. I'm not sure which one is used for the intermeadiat length bed (56-62).

they are different in that respect.

they also differ in detail frome year to year so when shopping around its best to locate one as close to in year of manufacture as the vehicle your mounting it on.

I dont know how unique those rubber gromets are but I could never find any reproduced so dont go leaving that detail stuff behind. ditto with the hardware.

good luck!
