Just like this one. [IMG] http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff117/olddaze/photobucket-6633-1338500600718.jpg[/IMG] I'm trying to get my drivers side cab corner fitted and it's not playing well with the inner cab corner. If I can get a good shot of a complete one and where it relates to the door bottom. I will know if I need to shorten the inner or drop the outer.
