98-02 bedside reinforcement bracket identification
Trying to figure out what part 8 is in this diagram.
Log story short, purchased an 02 2500 5.9 NV5600 4x4 a few months ago. When I initially looked at it, I noticed some metal cracking on the passenger bedside where the bedside support brace attaches to the box; 3 cracks about a inch long each starting from the bolt hole. I just figured out the whole bedside outer skin was replaced many years ago and they never installed the reinforcing bracket which eventually caused cracking from vibration and lack of support. My other option is to go to my local u-pull-it and cut out the part I need but I'd have to buy a battery powered cutoff wheel so I'd prefer to buy it already separate if possible.
