Re: 55 2nd serie GMC
Good work. Check your bed rail location in relation to the tank filler spout. I have the same gas tank and on my 59 short fleetside the bed rail lands on the filler. Bed rail can't be moved it supports the wheel well. I think they designed it for step sides and didn't mock it up on the later fleet sides. I had to notch the rail and reinforce the side that was left with steel angle.
