Fox! Thank you so very much for coming through! That confirms it then: 49 3/4" is what it is then. Super! And I read your story about your Ole Red Girl and checked out the pics...man you put in some serious engineering/effort there and making it a duallie to boot....awesome. klhansen, not sure where they leaves you with your situation....maybe when you put your bed back together it'll make more sense with your narrower tailgate? Guys, thanks for your help, you're great! (And I'm still looking for any more Bolters here in the St. Louis area?)
