The Classic guardrail upgrade kit adds a pair of perimeter rails to a BEDSLIDE deck that did not come with them. Guardrails do the obvious job of stopping cargo walking off the side of the deck when the slide is rolled out, but the reason to fit them now is the T-slot track built into the rail. That track is what the BEDBIN Side Kix and the upper BEDBIN trays hang from, and it takes D-ring tie-downs anywhere along its length, so a guardrail kit is the gateway to most of the BEDSLIDE accessory range rather than just a safety rail. This is the BSA-GRK60 version, which BEDSLIDE sizes for 79" to 70" applications. The kit is (2) guardrails and (2) towers, and it hand-tightens into the existing T-slot on the deck. Guardrails are already included on CLS part numbers released from 1 October 2018 onward, so this kit is for decks built before that.
What's Included:
- (2) BEDSLIDE Classic guardrails
- (2) guardrail towers
- Hand-tighten T-slot attachment hardware
Features
Keeps Cargo on the Deck
The rails run the length of the deck and give a loose load something to lean on when the slide is rolled all the way out. That is the whole reason guardrails exist and it is still the main one.
T-Slot Track Is the Real Upgrade
The guardrail is not a plain bar. It carries a T-slot track along its length, which is what the BEDBIN Side Kix bins and the upper BEDBIN trays mount to, and what D-ring tie-downs slide into. Fitting guardrails is what makes most of the BEDSLIDE accessory range available to an older deck.
Easy Installation, Hand Tighten
The rails and towers slide into the existing T-slot track and hand-tighten. There is no drilling and the deck does not have to come off the truck.
Sized to the Deck, Not the Model
BEDSLIDE offers this kit in three lengths and sizes them by deck length rather than by slide model: 80" for 95" applications, 60" for 70" to 79" applications, and 50" for 65" and shorter. Measure your deck and pick the matching kit.
Made in the USA
BEDSLIDE builds this in the USA alongside the slides. That matters most for the parts you cannot see: the extrusion tolerances that let the bin slide into a BEDTRAX rail cleanly, and the hardware that has to hold a loaded bin steady over a washboard road.

Fit guidance: This listing is the BSA-GRK60, which BEDSLIDE sizes for 79" to 70" applications. Two compatibility points matter more than deck length. First, the kit is not compatible with 2015 and earlier generation BEDSLIDE models, so check the age of your deck before ordering. Second, guardrails have been included on CLS part numbers released from 1 October 2018 onward, so a recent slide almost certainly already has them. Deck sizes are outer dimensions built to a .25" tolerance, so measure your own slide rather than assuming the nominal size.

Installation
Type: Hand-tighten into the existing T-slot track on the deck, no drilling · Time: About 20 minutes · Tools: Basic hand tools · Difficulty: Easy, DIY
Set the towers into the T-slot track, drop the rails onto them and hand-tighten. Nothing is drilled and the slide does not have to come out of the truck. The BEDSLIDE guardrail assembly instructions are linked on this page and are worth having open, because the tower positions determine whether the Side Kix bins will line up later.

About BEDSLIDE
BEDSLIDE invented the slide-out truck bed cargo tray. The idea is simple and it has not needed much improving: put the whole bed floor on heavy-duty bearings so it rolls out to you instead of making you climb in after your gear. Contractors, utility fleets, overlanders and anyone who has ever crawled the length of a bed looking for one tool have been buying them for the same reason for decades. Today BEDSLIDE is part of the LEER family under JB Poindexter and Co, which is the largest truck cap and accessory group in North America, and it remains an active NTEA member supplying commercial and work-truck upfitters. Every BEDSLIDE product is made in the USA.
The accessory line exists because the deck is only half the system. BEDTRAX T-slot rails run the length of every current BEDSLIDE, and the bins, trays, guardrails, tie-downs and mounting kits all drop into that same track, so you can add capability years after the slide went in without drilling anything new. Parts are built from aluminum and composite with an all-weather soft surface inside the bins, and they are designed to live outdoors in the same weather the slide does.
Prestige Truck is an authorized BEDSLIDE dealer. Every part we ship is new, in the factory box, and covered by the full BEDSLIDE factory warranty.
