Aftermarket short fleet bedside

[70sangersean]

Hello everyone.
I'm doing a shortbed conversion on my 71 and noticed on the passenger bedside the tail light is canted (if that's the right way to say it) towards the outside of the bed. In other words, the tail light would not run parallel with the tailgate. I purchased mine from classic parts probably 8 yrs ago.A buddy of mine got the 67 bedsides from classic industries and it's the same ****. I've done a google search on this issue and seen nothing mentioned about it. Am I the only one who has noticed this ?

I will have to check mine tomorrow. Mine came from Classic Parts of America in Riverside, MO. I just bought the bedsides I have everything else.

My box sides are aftermarket purchased two years ago. The passenger taillight sits pretty much parallel to the tailgate edge. Doesn't lean left or right.

What brand are your bedsides or who did you get them from ?
