I think he doesn't want to mess with the fenders or tails on the running boards where they fit the fenders.

I also have one I cam measure, or you could stop by and take a look.

The curved filler panels I'm thinking will be pretty simple to make.

Because George has a 2 ton we'll need to do some checking on how the running boards mount, and the height in relation to the fenders. I know the 1 ton cab and chassis boards are different form the 1.5 and 2 ton boards, the distance from the step to the top of the riser is different. This could be a problem making running boards line up with the big truck front fenders and the small truck rear fenders. Possibly the bed can be set closer to the frame, or farther away depending on how the measurements come out, no more than 2" one way or the other I'm thinking.
