Awesome truck by the way, short step sides look so much better, although the Mexican bed is pretty clean looking, but you may have run into an issue with the year and the side-marker lights-again local laws may vary.
You’re right, fish plating. I welded both sides just in case.

Thanks, it’s rough right now but half the fun is on polishing the turds.
