The Camper Hold Downs, # HSSF, will work on your 2005 GMC pickup. These hold downs wrap around the truck bed rails and are mounted inside the bed. They do not fit in the stake pockets. These hold downs will work for any camper that is a correct fit for your vehicle. To install, first place the protective tape under the rest plates and on the T-Bars. Next, thread the T-Bar into the nut at bottom of each Holdown.

Then place the front two Holdowns as forward as possible on rail of your truck body, making sure they are forward of the campers front eyebolts. Place the back two Holdowns on the rails of the truck slightly forward of or directly below the camper eyebolts. Adjust all the T-Bars until the Holdowns are square with the trucks rails. When properly aligned, tighten the lock nuts.

Next, put each locking clamp in place under the rails of the truck and square with the holdown. Install and tighten the included bolts to complete installation.
