I agree there appears to be a drastic slope on that white/orange truck. Hard to tell sometimes with pics. Sweet truck though. The upper bed trim is supposed to have a 1.42" drop on a LWB, and 1.40" on a SWB.

Found these pictures on this site, I doctored up one. I’m surprised the lower molding holes are just .66” from the bottom of the tailgate, must be a real thin piece. The assembly manual shows “TRP” with that .66”, anyone know what that means?

Nice thread on this compliments Palf70Step. He mentions the 30” reference is 25” from the rockers, though I’m not sure which part of the rocker. If we do this right I’ll know for certain. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=221881
