I actually thought about buying those sides as well, but at the time, I had a decent set I was trying to save until that stupid nice long bed I bought came along.
I definitely like both approaches. If I were to do another one, I would want a shiny straight truck, but this particular truck is so clean I wanted to preserve as much of it as possible, imperfections and all. Well, aside from lopping off 20" from the bed of course... These bedsides were perfectly imperfect for that approach. I think you made the right choice by passing on these as they would have been a chore to straighten out, plus then I wouldn't have had any bedsides to pick up locally

Thank you! I enjoy the forum much more than Instagram, so I keep this more up to date than Instagram.
