If the truck is a SB, that might be the reason for the layout being behind the axle.
I will say it's a one ton dodge, full size bed, and a hensley hitch, the instructions are set up so 1 of the bolts goes through the hat channel under the bed and penetrates the top of the frame, makes sense as in trying to slide a bunch of shims between the bed and the top of the frame might be a little tough to line up
