Didnt have much luck with the link--but on Ebay I just found a neat looking cover for a step side

ebay #281009605787

This is the first one that Ive seen that I might do.

Darn Toby, you busted my bubble----I thought I had made an original find (lol).

Thanks for posting the link to the previous thread.

Ive got to call them and see if they can give me exact drilling instructions---I wont drill after I paint!! (and would prefer not to buy ahead of time).

Go to their website and download (pdf) the installation instructions.

Mooneyes,,,

Have you had it on long enough so far to tell if there is any wiggle/vibration in the unit frame that would abraid the paint?
Im going to be doing my truck in a three stage candy apple paint----not looking forward to deep scuffs/scratches that would require further paint.

Haven't had any problems with that personally. The holes you drill is to hold the lead piece at the front. Sheet metal size and I think three. Unless you also drill the holes for the hold down on each inside for the latches. I never drilled those and just removed a floor strip bolt and used a bungy cord through a eye bolt. With new bedsides didn't want any extra holes myself. Good luck and overall a decent product.

...no probs at all my bed is in primer right now but the plastic corners keep the aluminum off the paint and it stays nice and tight i give it two thumbs up
