Fleetside bed to cab dimension.
The FAM does not address Fleetside beds. Can someone post the distance from the top bed front rail to the cab at the center of the cab? Mine is looking tight, especially when the frame will start racking offroad. Thanks in advance.

Re: Fleetside bed to cab dimension.
I'll get one for you tonight. I think it is pretty tight at the center. Maybe an inch.
