Thank you for your reply Mar-Ktech.

I took your advice and used poster-board and drew the dimensions on the poster-board and placed it in the back of the truck. Your right, my 2 end boards should have been wider. dang

You did mention that the "original" angle strips were 1 1/2" wide. Your angle strips are also 1 1/2"(on wood bed face)...is that correct?

Thanks again for your help! shake
