Subject:88 GL z bed lower drivers side bracket
From:Bobby Brown
Date:Mon, 18 Jan 2010 09:20:28 -0500

Upon removing my z bed, I discovered the "goldish" lower bracket was loose,
as the bolt was spinning the bracket.

So I got behind the panel with my trusty 36 inch pry bar, inserted it into
the "square" of the bracket and continued about removing the bolt and the
bed.

Well, come to fiqure out the bracket was not even threaded into the
wall/frame of the van. I don't see how it will actually thread, as there are
no threads even there.

On the other side, a nut or threads are welded on the "inside" of the wall,
so I can re-install the bracket prior to re-installing the bed frame.

Am I missing something? Manfacturing goof? Does the bracket go somewhere
else?
