when the lock pin would hit the bed.

Re: Dutch 1955 build
ss head and bolt look good
that red knob sort of stuck out

amazing how much work we can make for ourselves
how many hours just on your tailgate area?

Re: Dutch 1955 build
That is cool. I love the embossing.

I think if it would be lighted, you might have a marketable product.

Ok, thats really cool. great idea, i have always been worried someone would shut my tailgate, not pull the knobs, damage the bed and that is a great solution.

Re: Dutch 1955 build
I like the SS knobs. I wanted to do the same for mine but I have not found/made a replacement yet. My knobs are black plastic so it is not too bad.

Nice work...
Marc
