"Clear Title" to me means there are no liens on it.
It may mean something else to others though.

Re: A Scottish 55 Big back window

the spare tire well came out nice.
i do remember it being a lot of sanding due to a poor fit with lots of wrinkles,
but you'll appreciate it when you get the spare mounted up
i'll zip my lip for now, so as not to piss of your painter





but... you could add some bed liner under the fender to keep the paint on top looking good
the bed liner keeps rocks thrown from the tires from denting out
this pic shows the bed liner and how i installed fender welt with double sided tape



fender welt is not stock on tf truck, i used it and it looks good
