How to Install L-Track
- Clamp the track in the interior side rail and mark the mounting holes with a permanent marker. Then, remove the clamps and track and drill through the metal marked by the spots.
- Once all of the holes are drilled, line up the track and place the fasteners through the holes. Secure the fasteners with a flat washer and nut on the backside of each and repeat along the track.
- After you've finished installing the fasteners, then use a wrench to hold the fastener in place and tighten the bolt using a hand drill. Do this for all fasteners. Remember, the track is only as strong as it is secure. Make sure to fasten it properly to the truck rails.
Keep in mind, L-Track can also be installed on the floor of a trailer. US Cargo Control carries a variety of sizes and colors of L-Track.
