I recently picked up a set of OEM bed rail system for cheap, but it did not come with the OEM fasteners. I contacted Ford and they do not sell the fasteners separately. Can anyone with the OEM rail system tell me what size screws and washers/spacers I need to install mine?

LIFESAVER! Thanks!
You're welcome. FWIW, try to find fairly thick washers, or double/triple up. The rail is spaced off the bed to allow the cleat "pin" to pass thru the rail.

BTW these work great.
Why dick around with the single sliding tie down.

I have five per side now.

Not sure why you’d accept it without the fasteners. Return it and have them send you one with the required parts.

My guess is that it didn't come a dealer NIB, possibly an ebay or salvage yard acquisition.

It was a FB Marketplace purchase from a private seller who no longer has the truck for $100.

Not really. Those are flat head style, what you should be using is called a Ultra Low Profile Socket Head screw. otherwise the screw head could interfere with the cleat sliding past it.

Below is an example. HRG

Thank you for the information. This is really helpful. Should I pick 28mm for the M8 as suggested by the diagram from Ford and should I use stainless steel instead?

28mm is really an odd length, I imagine that 25mm would work fine. Stainless is fine, but a bit more $$.
