Steel Bed Vehicles:
Provided is our Plus-Nut fastening system for easy installation from the top of the vehicle bed so
you don’t have to crawl under your vehicle to bolt in your slide. (
NOTE:
Aluminum bed

cles
DO NOT
use standard Zinc coated Plus-Nut fasteners, Instead they can use Special
Ford spec WSS-M21P51-A2 Coated Plus-Nuts or use the Through-Bolt instructions below).
Typical slide unit attachment is made by use of a Plus-Nut anchor, a 5/16 USS washer and 1.5”
to 5” long 5/16 bolts. (Long bolts may be required to pass through channels under truck bed)
Drill a 1/2" hole in each of your marked locations to accept the Plus-Nut anchor.
Move the Slide a few inches out of your way and Insert a Plus-Nut anchor into each hole.
Using the included Plus-Nut install tool (a long grey metal nut with no threads and gripper teeth
on one end), a 2 1/2” long 5/16 bolt and a steel washer, Insert the bolt through the washer
then through the smooth end of the install tool and thread into the Plus-Nut you are installing.
Using a wrench to hold the install tool in place, use another wrench or socket on an impact driver
drill to tighten the bolt into the Plus-Nut. As you tighten the bolt you will feel strong resis-
tance, then light resistance, then strong resistance again as it collapses the Plus-Nut anchor
under the vehicle bed. After the Plus-Nut has been fully compressed, remove the bolt and
repeat on the other Plus-Nuts you are installing.
If the Plus-Nut is at an angle making it difficult to thread the bolt in, you may be able to thread a
bolt a few turns in to the Plus-Nut from underneath the vehicle and use pliers to hold it
straight enough for someone inside the vehicle bed to thread their bolt a few turns through the
frame from above, then remove the temporary bolt below before you finish tightening once
the upper one starts to thread.
Move the Slide back in to place over the Plus-Nuts and install with a 1.5” to 5” long 5/16” bolt
through a 5/16 washer then through the hole in the slide frame and into the Plus-Nut and
tighten securely in each of your mounting locations.
Aluminum Bed Vehicles (Through-Bolt):
Aluminum bed vehicles can use Special Plus-Nuts with a Ford Spec WSS-M21P51-A2 Coating
or use bolts with nylock nuts and aluminum washers. Unfortunately you will not be able to
install from only the top of the vehicle bed with the nut and bolt fasteners.
Drill a
3/8 inch hole
in each of your marked locations to insert the bolt through.
Typical slide unit attachment is made by use of a 1.5” to 5” long 5/16 bolt through a 7/8 inch USS
steel washer, then through the CargoGlide frame, then a 3/4” aluminum washer, then into the
hole in the vehicle floor, then a 1.125” aluminum washer underneath, then a 3/4” steel washer
and then a 5/16 nylock nut tightened securely underneath.
Spacers
Many vehicle compartments have a lip or raised trim by the door, or angled tailgates and other ob-
structions above the floor level. Some CargoGlide models may have to be raised up to clear the ob-
struction or tailgate angle during extension. Spacers can be made from many alternatives including
