Just purchased a used 2003 Sport Trac. A friend gave me their Bed Extender from their 2004 ST (1st Gen - Stainless - Model: 1U5A-19G299-AA). Checking out the bed/tailgate area; noticed that their were no striker bolts to attach the bed extender. So, went to local ford dealership and they got me Striker Bolts for my 2003. Issue is, the holes where the striker bolts should screw in are not threaded (I know this is probably funny) however, they were similar in size just not threaded. Talking with the service department, they just scratched their heads and didn't have an idea how to resolve the issue. Is it possible to get the holes threaded so they accept the striker bolts, or will the striker bolts self thread the holes (the holes appear to be the right size, just not threaded). Thanks for your help.
