I got a delivery from California a few weeks ago:
They are from Mcneil- front and rear. I think the fronts are 3" and the rear are 4". I got the fronts on. They didn't fit great, but they fit. I started working on the rears. They need paint. I hope to do that really soon.
I started on the rear tonight:
I am going to be running around without a bed for a few days. I am trying to decide how to mount the bedsides. I plan to have the bed rhino lined after paint. Anyone had any thoughts? Maybe big rivets? Maybe grade 8 bolts with washers?
I also want to build some nice hooks and weld them to the stake pockets. I use the bed to haul stuff ALOT. The new besides have no stake pockets. I have to have something to hook up my dirt bike tie downs to, and ratchet straps down when I am hauling stuff.
