How Do You Put a Cap on a Truck Bed?

Putting a cap on a truck bed is a great way to add extra protection and storage space to your truck. It can be done in a few different ways, depending on the type of cap you have and the size of your truck bed. Generally, you’ll need to drill holes into the side of your truck bed for mounting brackets or other hardware, as well as assemble the cap itself.

The first step is to measure the length of your truck bed so you know what size cap you need. Then, purchase the cap that best suits your needs and make sure it fits properly. Once you have your chosen cap, it’s time to mount it onto your truck bed.

If you have an older model vehicle, you may need to drill holes into the side of the bed for mounting brackets or other hardware that comes with the cap. Make sure that whatever type of hardware you use is designed for outdoor exposure, as it will be exposed to weather and temperature extremes.

Once all of the necessary hardware is in place, assemble the parts that make up the cap according to manufacturer’s instructions. This includes attaching any mounting brackets or other hardware components such as doors and windows.

Once everything is securely fastened together, place it on top of the bed and secure it with screws.

Conclusion:

Putting a cap on a truck bed is an easy way to add protection and storage space. Depending on what type of cap you purchase and how old your vehicle is, there may be drilling involved in order to mount brackets or other hardware components necessary for installation. Assemble all parts according to manufacturer’s instructions before securing them onto your truck bed with screws.
