End Cap of Bed Wood Location (flareside)




Does anyone know for certain if the metal end cap that goes over the ends of the boards by the tailgate goes under the side rails or above? Does anyone have any pics of their wood flare side beds to share? Thanks!

It’s been a long time since I had a flareside but I believe the boards should be milled at the end so that the cap sits flush with the top surface of the board and the cap goes under the sides just like the boards do.
