You all were very helpful with my last question on window trim. Let’s try a new question 🤣. I am rebuilding the bedsides on my 50 3100 step side. I am just going to buy sheet metal and replace the sides, $120 vs 5-600, but a lot of labor. My question is does anyone know what the angle is on the top rail to bedside for these beds?
Don't you have a protractor or a carpenter's speed square?

I'll measure mine tomorrow but someone probably will post the answer before then.

That’s great, that’s close to what I am able to pull from it too even with the bedside metal removed. I didn’t cut loose the stale pockets on the cab sides, I should be able to weld on some new side metal pretty “straight” 🤣. Thanks for the help and angle check, this site always has someone to help. Off now clean some rust!
Yes, I measured mine and if the walls (vertical side panels) of the bed are at 0 degrees, the top angled portion is at 30ish degrees.
