keyparts drip rail??
Who has used the keyparts replacement drip rails. Im in the process of fixing the rust on the drip rails on my cab and my new keyparts drip rail does not fit at all. The outer lip is only about half as tall as the original one. If i got a bad one i dont mind buying another one but would it be any differant.

Re: keyparts drip rail??
I haven't used those yet. Why not ask them? Is it just the difference in height or fit as well?

Re: keyparts drip rail??
Good call i will try to contact them. It is only the difference in hight that is the problem for me. My plan was to only replace the rusted section so i have not tryed to fit the whole piece.

Re: keyparts drip rail??
Im pretty sure the part is right, the bends are just not right. Here is a picture to try to show the differance.

Re: keyparts drip rail??
I don't know what brand I purchased but I got it from Tim Christian and mine was the same. I guess they all are the same, I got mine done you can tell it, but I'm going to fix it later when I get closer to resto-modding it.

I will try to remember to pull one out of the warehouse in the morning to compare it to.

Re: keyparts drip rail??
Did we ever get this figured out? I'm in need of these but don't want parts that don't fit right.
Hoping to pick up a pair at Carlisle at the end of the month.
