Picked up a pair of new body brackets off flea-bay since mine were rotted out. Passenger side went on with no problems, but having a problem getting the bolts on the driver's side because of the gas tank. I'm replacing the rivets that were in there with grade 8 1/2 inch bolts but can't get the lockwasher and nut on toward the gas tank side of the frame rail. Any ideas that don't involve pulling the bed or tank? I was thinking of trying to put the bolt through the back by holding it with a magnet and putting the nut and lockwasher facing out rather than at the tank. BTW, the flea-bay brackets are beafy...http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ford-Ranger-Cab-Mount-Frame-Bracket-rust-repair-Rear-/380873739471?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item58add80ccf&vxp=mtr
