Mass/weight of a full set of S/S bed strips.

[Grizz1963]

Hi there,

Could anyone please tell me the mass/weight in kilograms of a full set of Stainless Steel 1966 C10 Short Fleetside bed strips including fasteners? I need to fly back to England with them in a Ski bag along with the body side mouldings.

And the airlines can be brutal on excess baggage.

I have emailed LMC and Mar-K as well.

Thank you.

Put the hardware in your carry on. The strips will come in a tube, just keep them in that so they don't get damaged. No need to transfer them to a bag.

Impressive... Thank you for the reply.

Got a reply from Mar-K, they do seem more interested than some to do business.

Vicky in sales is always on the ball !!

Anyway, the strips for future reference are:

I’m afraid I do not do kilograms & centimeters, but in pounds and inches the numbers are:

Bed Strips 23 lbs 82” x 3” x 3”

Hidden Fasteners 2 lbs 12” x 4” x 5”

Or, if you mean a bolt kit instead of the hidden fastener bed strips:

Bolt Kit 6 lbs 12” x 4” x 5”

What this means is that I should weigh in within the extra baggage limit

keep your strips and body side molding separate, you know how baggage folks can be....

The trouble is the first extra case is £50 or $75 and each case after that is about £100 or $150 so putting two extra items in the hold is very costly.
