There isn't too many threads with actual pictures of these beds..

Before I spend $2,000, I'd like to see some trucks with these beds installed so I can get a better idea.

Thanks in advance!

I bought the bed kit from Bill's Truck Shop in Courtice Ontario. They were all Woodall panels except the floor was tri-plus and are very nice. The panels required next to no filler, the only issues I had was I had to modify the side panel box section at the rear where it matches up with the floor frame under the bed. The floor was tri-plus so that might be why it was an issue. I also had to get a good used tailgate handle, the aftermarket one is crap and doesn't fit well.

Here is one from the rear so you can see the tailgate.

the beds are pretty nice but aftermarket tailgates are still crap, too thin to use.

You had a rare bed floor if it was Tri-Plus? Only one company making bed floors but two company's making 68-72 bed sides.
