What about the front of the bed panel and back of cab? | | | | | Joined: Aug 2000 Posts: 800 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2000 Posts: 800 | With the basic box assembled, just use some thin wood strips(strapping) to set the bed height and location.

And try to find some holes in bed that line up w/ crossmembers? They are going to paint w/ bed off and reinstall to paint stripe down side. I dont have trim holes in fenders or doors but I do in the bed. I probably need to provide the molding so the lines are straight? thanks | | |
