Ya. I believe I need to cut the section out because the license plate box doesn't fit.. that one down. Thanks! But the gap without tailgate 67 1/2 lip to lip and 67" bottom lip to lip and my roll pan is 67" very tite fit at the bottom corners. Ill try the strap good idea but would i be better moving the bottom out.. d oues only have a quick measure ment. I have two beds without original tail gates and I putting on used bed skin so look to do this right.. thanks!
