Re: Bed Rail Covers

I didn't take any pics of how awful the box rails were before, you will just have to believe me when I say they were bad. I ended using some airtools and a cookie duster bodyman tool to take off the glue. Then I prepped the affected areas with some rust paint.

Installed the bed rails and I have to say, they look pretty darn good. They covered up the damage and are polished to a mirror finish. Excellent buy for the money.

In terms of fitment, the header panel cover fit like a glove, but unfortunately I did have to trim a little to provide for a couple bolt heads between the box and the cab. The stepside cover could have frankly fit the curve of the top a little snugger, but thats just nitpicking. The rail covers themselves fit great, although I discovered that one of my rails was not 'true' at this point: I shimmed it with some rubber to make it lay flat.
