Will this bolt directly to my truck, or do I need to drill new holes?

This bracket mounts at factory anchor points — no drilling. Line it up with the existing holes and you're set.

Does this come with mounting hardware?

Hardware not confirmed. Check your truck's original fastener set or grab stainless hardware from your local shop to match the existing anchor points.

Can I paint or modify the black finish?

The black finish is applied and stable. If you want a different look, light sanding and repaint is possible — test a small area first to confirm adhesion.
