Did you have to elongate the holes in the front panel of the bed to get the top of it to line up with the bedsides? Mine looks to be about 1/4" too high.

I bought a entire repop bed and lucky for me mine lined up almost perfect It would have been a shame to have to elongate them and then try to conceal that mess with the 2 at the top are threaded in and then the additional down each side( I used stainless pan/hex head bolts seen in the pic). I did put it all together for fitment purposes before I sent it for paint Im going to dig out some pics of my original bed was OEM and see if that one looked like yours regards Jess PS I taped them up on the outside of the head board (what you see blue and white tap) so as not to scratch the cab. I have to remove it one more time before perm install |

Re: I am from the Desert
I think we have finally found a repop that fits better than the oem! Your truck is amazing. Rg

Re: I am from the Desert

Re: I am from the Desert
I asked Nicklear in his thread, but I noticed you have the oil fill tube. Where did you get the intake for it? Was it new or used? Also, what about pcv?
Thanks, Rg |
Re: I am from the Desert
that intake is a throw back I believe its a performer 2703 from Edelbrock I painted it as far as PCV my engine is a 327 from a 67 truck I bought long ago... it has a breather tube in the block by the distributor like some of the early 265s and 283s had and also breaths through that filler tube oil cap
