That really adds a nice bit of shine to the bed.

I did not know where to put it. I had a friend judge the level of the Jet as to the level of the hood following the contour of the base of the jet to the hood. Made some marks around the base of the body of the jet and tip of the wings, then made a template of the base and wing tips and marked where I had to drill the holes. Tip I got from a guy in a scrapyard in Upper NY state. Look for Bus or big truck hoods . To high for people to cause damage to them and buses were taken care of.
The bed railing was a fluke call to a guy who was listed in a Hemmings Almanac of dealers in old parts. He asked me what I was looking for and off the top of my head I said "Bed Rails". "I've had them for years and I'll sell them to you for the same price I bought them for. " he said and the deal was made. That very week I was at a swap meet in Cloverdale British Columbia and lo and behold there's another set on the ground. Guy was asking $85.00 at the time I offered $45.00 he took it, had them rechromed and installed them on my matching trailer. ( Haven't shown pictures of the trailer yet. It's like the box on my 63 ) He had taken them off a 58 El Camino. so they go back a few years. I found another set on Ebay but for the life of me I can't find them. There in a box somewhere. The Ebay find claimed they had come from a Ford Ranchero. Found just the posts and bullet ends on Ebay $9.99 for all he had . I bid and told him what they were for . He sent me one post and Bullet End Cap then relisted the rest of the set and sold them for $ 100.00. I'm going to make a toilet paper holder out of the one post and bullet to remind me to keep my BIG MOUTH SHUT next time.
