READ BEFORE YOU INSTALL DECKED
DON’T use power tools to assemble or install the DECKED system. Impact wrenches and other power tools
can over tighten and damage components (aside from drilling drain holes in ammo cans).
DON’T over tighten J-hooks during installation. J-hooks need to be snug to keep system from moving
around, but should NOT be cranked down.
DON’T over torque any bolts, particularly the bolts attaching the center vert to the deck halves.
TAILGATE ammo cans have flat bottoms; CABSIDE ammo cans are narrow at the bottom.
NOTE: You will need a buddy with exactly two steps.

Do you use a Tonneau or shell over your DECKED system?
There is no need to drill holes.
Does your DECKED system live outside in the elements?
The ammo cans will likely get water in them. You’ll need to drill holes in the ammo cans. There are two
dimples in the bottom of each ammo can. Drill a 3/8” hole at each dimple.
STEP 1: DRIVER SIDE DECK ASSEMBLY
• Loosely bolt C-channel to the ledges on the inside of the two ammo cans. Make sure bolt head is
on the C-channel side, not inside ammo can; bag 1A. NOTE: The small rectangular slot in the
C-channel indicates the tailgate end.
Line up the deck (sticker indicates driver side deck half) on top of the C-channel/ammo can assembly
and the vert bosses. NOTE: Tailgate side of vert has an axle hole at the bottom (see below).
Bolt deck to C-channel/ammo can assembly; bag 1B for driver side tailgate ammo can, bag 1C for
driver side cabside ammo can.
• Go back and tighten loose bolts connecting ammo cans to C-channel.
• Bolt the deck to the vert; bag 1D. Do not use power tools.
• Grab your buddy to help you lift assembly onto driver side of truck bed.

STEP 2: INSTALL AXLES
1). Install the driver side tailgate ammo can axle; bag 2A.
• Rotate the axle from its inbound side using a wrench on the “flat” end. Nut is included in bag
and can be held with adjustable wrench while tightening. NOTE: Axles should be tight
enough that the axle end is difficult to spin with a 1/2” wrench.
2). Repeat on passenger side tailgate ammo can; bag 2A.
3). Install vert axle; bag 2B.

Line up the deck (sticker indicates passenger deck half) on top of the C-channel/ammo can assembly
and the vert bosses. NOTE: Tailgate side of vert has an axle hole at the bottom.
Bolt deck to C-channel/ammo can assembly; bag 4B for driver side tailgate ammo can, bag 4C for
driver side cabside ammo can.
• Tighten bolts connecting ammo cans to C-channel.
• Grab your buddy to help you lift assembly onto passenger side of truck bed.

STEP 5: INSTALL PASSENGER SIDE DECK HALF
Insert the J-hook through the tailgate side hole on the passenger side tailgate ammo can and
loosely affix it to the bracket with spherical washer, flat washer and nut; bag J10.
• Insert the J-hook through center hole on the passenger side cabside ammo can and loosely
affix it to tie-down bracket with spherical washer, flat washer and nut; bag J6.
• Bolt passenger side deck half to the vert; bag 5C (just like step 1D). Make sure all bolts
connecting deck to vert are snug, but no power tools.
MAKE SURE THE VERT IS IN THE CENTER OF YOUR BED; the gaps on either sidewall may not be equal.
• Alternately and gradually tighten all J-hooks to ensure deck is centered and secure. Do not tighten
one side of J-hooks all the way in one step.
• Install window covers in cabside ammo cans (from inside the ammo can).

STEP 5.5: INSTALL VERT SHIM
GM truck beds are oftentimes convex. If your truck bed is convex, this Santoprene shim will allow
the tailgate end of the vert to rest in full contact with the bed; bag 5D.
NOTE: Not all GM truck beds are convex, only add shim if needed.

HELPFUL TIP: The shim is 1/8” thick. If that thickness still
doesn’t fill the gap, cut the shim into two pieces to create
more thickness.

STEP 6: INSTALL DRAWER WHEELS
There is a left and a right corner bracket for each drawer–bolt brackets in place.
(use the 2” bolts for the upper back wall bracket hole); bags 6A and 6B.
• Use tube brace with two bolts to connect the two corner brackets; bag 6C.
• Insert axle through wheel and affix to drawer bracket; bag 6D. Do this for each wheel (4 times).
Turn drawer upside down and align the holes in the L-braces (loose in system box) with the drawer
holes. NOTE: Start L-brace with hole closest to handle.
Simply use your thumb to push the weld nuts into each hole. Once weld nuts are in place, turn the
drawer upright and insert the screws (snug but not too tight); bag 6E.
Repeat for all drawer sides.

• From the underside of drawer, place the springs between the holes, red spring=right spring; bag 7A.
NOTE: each spring arm should point inward, not outward.
• Install clevis pin through each drawer hole and through spring; bag 7B.
With DECKED logo facing outward, insert the handle ends behind the spring arms. Rotate the top of the
handle toward the clevis pins, pulling the spring arm downward. When the handle hole is lined up with
the clevis pin, push the pin through the handle hole and through the drawer hole. Repeat on the other
side of the handle.
• Install hair pin through the clevis pin; bag 7B.
• Repeat process for the other drawer; bag 7C & 7D.

STEP 8: INSTALL DRAWERS
• Save yourself the headache, watch this short installation video: decked.com/videotailgatewheels.
• Install optional drawer braces (instructions included in bag); bag 8A.
• Install drawer by sliding wheels into their two channels (C-channel and vert).
• Install remaining tailgate side wheels onto their axles; bag 8B.
NOTE: Placing a spacer under the drawer to raise it into position makes this easier (ammo can
lids work well).
Place weather stripping on top of the tailgate side drawer edge
with the wiper facing CABSIDE;
bag 8C.
NOTE: Facing the weather stripping the wrong way will funnel water into drawer: BAD!

• Screw on the bottle opener; bag 9A.
Using your favorite beverage, test the bottle opener, and think about how jealous your friends are
going to be.
