Assembly
Step 1. Position the front mounting plate of the upright leg as close
to the cab as possible. Locate the pre-drilled hole in the footplate
that is furthest from the leg and drill a 3/8” hole through the truck’s
bed rail. (FIG 1) A second hole for a bolt must be drilled through the
both the footplate and the truck’s bed rail as close as possible to the
front leg without sacricing access to the bolt underneath the truck’s
bed rail. This bolt must be accessible in order to put on the washer
and nut. Attach the footplate to the truck using bolts (A), washers
(B), and nylock nuts (C).
Repeat Step 1 as you position the remain upright leg for this section.
DO NOT over tighten any bolts.
Step 2. Set the rack to the high (FIG 2) or low (FIG 3) position, whichever is best for the cargo and
the truck, by ipping the crossbrace. For bowed canoes, the high position is recommended. If you
choose to ip the crossbrace, you will have to remove and replace the caps.

Step 3. Insert the crossbrace into the crossbar extension (FIG 4) and set the entire assembly on top
of the upright legs. Center the crossbrace left to right and secure it with the Allen head set screws
(D). Secure the crossbrace to each upright leg with the included Allen head set screws.
To install the rear portion of the cargo truck rack on the truck bed, repeat the above steps. Before
drilling the mounting plate, ensure that the plate does not overhang or interfere with the tail gate.
The Cargo Truck Rack is now ready for use.
Note: You may also use as a single front-mounted rack to support long items in the bed (FIG 5).
