New 60-66 Bedsides
Just received a set of new bedsides. Packaged well, just a little scuffing where they rubbed against the cardboard. Have to say that they look good.

Re: New 60-66 Bedsides
Everyone will be carrying these. If I were to get some I would probably drive down to LA and get some one the truckandcarshop. Cheaper then shipping and I won't have to worry about damage. I have not called them yet to see if they have them.
Brothers trucks is having a sale. Only problem is their sale price is the same as everyone else's everyday price. hahah

Re: New 60-66 Bedsides
I am thinking of selling my 4 OEM sides and getting 2 of these, just don't feel like blocking for 40 hours.

Re: New 60-66 Bedsides
Have you mounted these yet or took measurements. I saw where some received a set and they were 2 inches short in length and 1 in short in height. Just wondering.

Re: New 60-66 Bedsides
I understand the coffee to start off, but I usually don't use the instructions until I am 2/3 of the way through the project and realize I missed something critical 1/3 of the way through...............................

Re: New 60-66 Bedsides
So far, things look to fit well. Had to elongate two holes at the side panel where it connects to the front bed panel

Re: New 60-66 Bedsides
looks awesome and the length long almost spot on. will the stock 77 1/8" long wood boards fit inside? i think alot of people are waiting around to see how they work out and look, myself included. i wonder if this will drive down the price of used bedsides.
