I purchased on of these
tail gate top edge protectors. They sell them at most of the part sites so I won't name which one. I installed it on my
59 stepside. Friday after work I took it down to the local show. I noticed a little dirt in the bed of the truck so crawled up in and wiped it down. backing out of the bed my leg/shin brushed against the protective cover.
An ambulance ride, 4 hours in the ER and 17 stiches later I'm warning anyone with one of these they are extremely sharp. ER doctor says it looked like I was cut with a scalpel. Spent the whole weekend with my foot elevated and the wife waiting on me (okay so maybe it wasn't so bad)
