I used the dimensions from the GMC Paul website, and the boards don't seem wide enough. the gaps between them are very wide. Looks good though, definitely better than it was before. I used gloss paint, probably should have gone with Satin.

Still have to bolt down the bed, and tighten up the 4553 bolts that are in it.
You could always scuff the boards down with scotch brite pads. Looks way better
