I hope he left the mounting plates on the frame of the truck , they are NOT pictured... If so , it is nothing different than an erector set on steroids... Unless I am reading wrong ( very good chance) you are taking the truck that previously had the same rails in it,?? If its a new install , that's a whole different ballgame. There are a ton of folks on here that do it them selves , I for one had mine installed by the local dealer.. It was some time ago , but I believe I was charged around $350.00-$400.00 for the install ??????
The way I read it, the original owner only removed the rail kit that is pictured as well as the pullrite hitch....the frame plates should still be in place, ie , never removed...owner probably needed the full bed for some reason or another...
BUT...maybe I read it wrong and/or "assumed" too much:)
