It's interesting you bring up the part about the bed width. I was quite pleased to see that when I swapped the dropside on I could actuall see the sides of the NDT's under it. ?? I measured the be to find that it's outside measure, not counting hinges, and found it to be 1" per side narrower than a std bed. I'm hoping to better match the trackwidth when I get the big XL singles on. Good eye Bjorn.
