Re: Bedrail caps
I changed my mind on these caps not long after trying to get the fit I wanted. I sold them and went another direction, I sawed the outer top off 6 rusted out doors and welded then to the top of the bed rails and broke som sheetmetal and welded it in on the backside. I haven't had any body work done in the area yet but it turned out great, the rear corners where a lil tricky but it worked out to my satisfaction. I would post pictures but have never had luck with that but I will try.

Re: Bedrail caps
I raised the bedsides and tail gate and if I recall I used 8 rough doors to do it.
I used rectangular tubing for the cap and it gave the rail top great strength.
