I always cringed every time I saw a tonneau cover on a flareside, all I could think of was all those holes drilled in the bed rails for the snaps..... and then of course 6 months later rust, and the cover would shrink and you could not get the cover on the snaps....

WELCOME !

Very sharp Bullnose !



I'm thinking you might want to put some larger washers on those bed floor bolts, especially at the joints.

Beautiful Truck.... Mine goes in for paint next month.. I hope it comes out close to yours.. Its going to be close to the same color. Just finished POR15 coating the frame so hopefully this New England salt box will not kill it... If I can just get the choke issue taken care of it will be all set... Been fighting that problem for 23 years...

we'll have to get together and compare notes.. I have a *****load of work I need to do and in most cases not a clue how to do it... It's gret to have another flareside so close to take a peek at..
