Just installed my running board and splash aprons today.(1950 1/2 ton 3100)
Should there be a gap between the top of the apron and the bedside?

Without measuring it I would estimate approx 1/2 to 3/4" gap.
When I first got the truck the bed blocks had disintegrated and the bedsides had squashed the aprons a little.(So no references to go on)

I've checked pictures of other trucks and have seen some with gaps and some touching.
I have all new bed blocks and rubber pads.
Which is correct?
