Ah, I think get it.

If I went the adjusting nut route, I would thread both ball nuts into
the center coupling nut then mount just one of the ball nuts to the
bed attaching where the original split brass nut went?

If so, should be easy enough.. On the square ball nuts, is there room
to bolt the flat directly through the corners of the body, or do you
always have to have a flange to mount to?

Thanks for the input..
