Well worth the money! Nice change. Ever thought about color matching your aux gas doors to make them blend in a little better? I always wondered why they didn't do that in the first place. Great looking truck!

Looks great!....I am so used to to seeing trucks w/ aux gas doors on here, that i never even noticed it when i first looked.........keep it how YOU want it!

Have a look back at the starting post.

Thanks guys. I actually like the aux fuel doors....they break up the vast expanse of sheetmetal on the long bed sides....

Very nice truck!

Hardy har har!

Actually the tires are the same, I just had them flip the overspray to the inside of the rim so it isn't visible anymore! I have had these tires for 6 years plus now and they are still 60% good....I must say, for cheap tyres they have lasted well....

What brand bed cover is that looks really nice.

Tim240Z · 03-28-2006, 09:42 AM

I got it from Summit Racing. Tekstyle. Here is a link:

Very easy to install and very easy to open up and the tailgate works with the cover on.

76bonanza · 03-28-2006, 08:20 PM

Can you open front or rear and would you buy it again? Getting ready to get one and think I will go with that one.

Tim240Z · 03-28-2006, 09:20 PM

Yeah, I would buy it again. You cannot open it from the back (behind the cab) as it is attached to that bed rail so that it cannot be stolen. It takes 30 seconds to open and roll up and about 60 seconds to restore it.
