Bed angle Strips

My angle strips on my '61 step were pretty gnarled up so I bought new ones but I need to know how far down from top of bed are the strips. I used this picture from another thread as reference. I need top of bed rail to top of the flange. On that note, has anyone used the polished strips and how did you mount them? It would seem welding them would ruin the polish but bolting them would make the bolts visible on the outside and nuts exposed on inside. Rivet?

Re: Bed angle Strips

Hard to get a good picture of the tape measure, but I just went and measured my OEM strip and it is 16 1/2" from the top of the bed rail to the top of the bed angle strip that is against the bed side...and 17 3/4" from the top of the bed rail to the underside of the bed angle strip. HTH and makes sense.
