Re: Wood Bed Rails Installed

Re: Wood Bed Rails Installed
Wow, that looks great! Your truck looks sweet, BTW. I have been thinking about doing something similar, and painting the rails flat white.

Re: Wood Bed Rails Installed
It took me a lot of searching to find out, but those are referred to as “sideboards”. A search on this site will turn up a couple of photos but I haven’t found anything in the 60-66 group. A Google search under “pickup truck sideboards” will provide photos and a few links.
Those look great on your truck.

Re: Wood Bed Rails Installed
Great idea. I'd do the same if I didn't have one that likes to sleepwalk out of the top bunk! Your truck looks pretty sick too!
