This is page 3 of an installation instruction set (document number 334-010) showing exploded-view assembly diagrams for mounting aluminum rails along the left side of a vehicle body, most likely for a soft top or tonneau cover kit. Figure 2 ('Left Side Shown') is an exploded view showing how two aluminum rail sections (Item 1 and Item 4) are fastened along the body rail using bolts (Item 2), washers (Item 3), a screw (Item 10), a spacer (Item 15), and a trim/seal piece (Item 16). Figure 2A is an inset end view of the body aluminum showing a carriage bolt, jam nut, and wingnut, with a note to install the tailgate aluminum over the bolt and nut and secure it with the wing nut. A callout instructs the installer to drill a 5/32" hole through the pre-punched hole in the aluminum after the aluminum is bolted down. Figure 3 ('Top View Left Side') shows a bracket (Item 8) secured with two screws (Item 9) positioned 27 inches from the rear corner of the rail. No vehicle year, make, or model is stated on this page.
