I was just wondering about issues with removal of cab to frame bolts, if you ever removed them. My 2000 rockers are so shot and my side steps tore them up. I want to replace them with a 3" nerf bar type of step. These will mount to the frame between the cab to frame bolt areas. I am wondering if the bolts, which would need to be removed, are captured or not; (meaning completely submerged and not having threads exposed). If they are sealed off, I think I will order the bars, if exposed to rust for 23 years, I anticipate either breaking a bolt off or a mounting tab or something worse. I saw years ago a type of bar that clamped around the frame so no drilling was needed, but I can't find any like that anymore. If you get a minute, let me know if you could. 2000 Dodge Ram 4x4 pickup, standard cab & 8' bed.
Thanks
