Custom Cab Sail Panel bracket info. for you

I have had numerous inquiries about the size, design, and location of the Custom Cab Sail Panel brackets. I have put this together which shows the answers to the questions asked. A picture is worth a thousand words, so here are some pics.

The bracket is 6 3/8 inches long, 1/2 wide, and is creased in the middle to give it an offset. This offset is needed because the back of the cab starts to round where these are mounted, this offset keeps or pushes the bracket tight against the back of the cab.

I have several Custom Cabs with these on them, and the exact location varies by around 1/4 of an inch so I doubt GM used a template when attaching these they probally just "eyeballed it". None the less This should allow you to mount these on your cab.

Check other posts Clyde65 is trying to fabricate these from one I sent him as a pattern.

First pics of the bracket
