Otto, everyone but Steele (who only produce black, from what i can tell) likely get their stuff from the same offshore source. That source likely never gets any feedback about fit, even if the give a rip about it.

I'm thinking of calling Steele and see what their product profile looks like, and if they can produce it in the correct color for the trucks that use the tan color, which appears to match the original from Jim Carter, but with the gap, after installation, one can hardly call it windlace, as the wind will whistle right past it. I might send Steele a sample of both the original and the incorrect repop stuff.

[on edit] I just posted that question to Steele on their website. The have a picture of the profile that looks correct. I let them know that there was definite interest in this product if the correct color. They have it in black for a bit over $100, and I'd pay that for the correct color.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
