Default Bed Extender Install Instructions?

Back in January, I traded in my '05 Quad Cab for an '06 Mega Cab and I removed my bed extender. I want to re-install it now, but I can't remember what drill bit size was needed for the screws. Anyone out there install one recently and still have the instructions? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Take the screws to the hardware store and size them up on one of their screw/bolt/nut ID charts. You should be able to determine the drill bit size from that.

Hold it. Are these sheet metal screws? If so, just take a screw and match it up against your bits. Select a bit that is just under the size of the core of the screw. Test the screw in the hole. If it's too tight, step up one size on the bit.
