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.

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.

Maybe you should get 2 of those FIRST, and THEN sell the 4 oem's (provided they fit of course)

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

There looks to be two holes rear of the 2nd cross sill. Anyone have a idea of purpose...?

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.
