If the hardware to mount them is the same, you will have to drill holes into your frame and into the body seam (i think thats what its called). the bolts that came with mine (that secure it to the frame) were self threading and are probably what your going to get and the bolts for the body seam are just regular bolt-washer/lock washer-nut assemblies.
I suggest lifting the sliders into place and securing them somehow to the vx as to be able to mark the holes for drilling. Then take them off and make sure you can positively see the marks and then lift the sliders back up and secure them. Then the fun part... I drilled the holes on the body seam first cause that can move a little back to allow the frame mounts to snug up tight. Then once you have bolted it to the body seam then drill the holes on the side of the frame first, loosen up the bolts on the body seam just a turn or two and then thread the frame bolts in (be careful not to over tighten because they will strip out the metal on the frame and youd be SOL) these will be a little hard to start but once started they get easy. once those are tight (but not HEMAN tight) drill the hole on the bottom of the frame mount (only one per side) and thread the bolt and tighten, then tighten up the seam bolts and make sure all bolts and nuts all around are tight.
If you have any further questions let me know through PM and I can help out as best I can.
