And the one body line fading in too much that runs along the bottom.

I think that's more the picture than the way it actually looks. I've got more pictures of the quarters if I can find them...I really need to organize my pictures better !

Thats good to hear man, I plan on putting trim over that one line anyway, but I'm picky about having it perfect lol. I'd love to see some more pictures of it if you can find them. I might go NPD then for bedsides🤔

I'd start shopping around for a nice rust free complete short bed. It will take some searching, & some $$$, but you'll come out far ahead in the long run.

I hope they are close to original. I haven't got them yet. It must be a made on demand.
Some of the parts I have ordered On on a May delivery date, but I received an update and they have moved date sooner on some of the parts

Did you ever get these on or end up getting any more photos? I’m interested to see if that body line is there and how it all turned out.
