Re: Bed side rails: why wouldn't a set for '73 fit?

And now the rear post install.

The first task was to trim down the expansion block slightly as they are just a touch too big to fit in the stake pockets. In the comparison photo you can see I didn't have to take a lot off to make them fit. I had to loosen and lift the tonneau cover rails to get the expansion blocks in the front stake pockets since the rails slightly overlap the stake pockets. Now all four end posts are installed so all that is left is to measure the rail tubes and cut them to length and install them.
