I dont recall ever seeing and or using studs on the frame or the fold out steps. So what merc is showing.. is news to me. I just used the 8 clips, bolts, washers, and lock washers. That was 2-3 years ago.

I silicone spray it and work it every once in a while to keep em from binding.

 

Thanks Merc,
Seems you are very close.
The M10 bolts land clips look correct. I need qty of 3 each
There are two other bolts needed , these are M8 I believe.
Two washer nuts , I think are M8
Is there a way to look up the Ford part number for the M8 bolt?
Thanks

 

Fordpartsgiant has all the hardware with exception to the regular nuts at a REALLY good price, same or less than regular hardware from ace, lowes, etc. (like a little over a dollar each). The nuts i found on fleabay new pack of 4 for $9 shipped.

 

Been there. Done that:
