Who has used them?
How did they fit for you?
I purchased a pair and I am just looking for some feed back.
Thanks

I have 2 sets here, purchased since last summer. There are great for what they are, replacement and virtually the same as factory. If installed on the repro floor the rear crossmember on the floor will need to be narrowed as the bedside pocket area is not wide enough, not sure if the floor or the bedside is the problem as I haven't tried to fit the bedside to an original floor. I used an air hammer/chisel with hammer attachment to narrow the floor crossmember to fit the bedside mounting point.

It's the bedside. I have one I got from another dealer with same problem.

I figured it was the bedside, my bedsides are goodmark and woodall, I'm positive the sides are identical. Its not hard to make them fit, especially since it doesn't require any bodywork

The bedsides from Key Parts are just as nice as the ones from Goodmark and Woodall
