Re: goodmark repro bed

ok, I'll play along. We just fitted TriPlus bedsides (everything else is OE).
They aren't perfect by any means, but they are hefty. Here are some pics of things not right that we had to adjust.






Driver's side:
Front panel will not sit far up enough within the bedside to align.
Needed cut. Also, there's a weld on the top/inside that needed hammered on also.




Driver's side:
Holes not aligning right. We drilled them out and used larger bolts.








Passenger's side:
Same thing.






Tailgate alignment = ok




Driver's front of bed slightly lower.
I used rubber/tar like shimms that came with the wood kit to correct.
Shimmed cross sill to frame.




The driver's side top rail was bent too much over where it connects with the stake hole.
This caused an unlevel look in the middle.
To correct it, we busted the spot welds and allowed it to release.




I doubt you'll get anything perfect.
Yellow marks tiny dings etc... that will need attention.








Other than that they are ok.




Sorry for showing off my new bed wood floor Robert It was wood originally.
We're almost finished with it. Need to drill the perimeter holes in the wood for the bedsides/tubs and paint.
