I've been looking for a set of Alum slots for some time now. I guess nobody makes them anymore.

The bedsides worked out great. Just like any body panel though they had to be shaved down in a few spot and a little work here and there but one thing I would have done differently was fit the bed to the truck to ensure absolutely perfect body width and body lines. I kind of rushed and the bed is slighlty wider than the cab. The average guy would never notice but me I'm anal. The last set I used we had to shim outward because it was too narrrow and a lot of shimming and seam sealer was used on that truck. I was over all pleased with their quality though.
As far as Aluminum Slots go - I love them and there is a company who makes repro's of them in high polished aluminum. Or do what I did and scour ebay til you find a set. I may sell these down the road though due to a conflict of interest with my GMC lol

Update - Today I switched over to the CS alternator from the SI and installed the serpentine belt system and a new fan. while I was in there I put in a new power steering pump and AC compressor too. Tomorrow I am going to install a new Accumulator and the lines and charge it up! I can't wait to have AC
When I bought the truck the AC had been removed. So tomorrow I'll post pix when I get it done.

Love what you did to your truck. I also like the center of the grill painted blue better. You are doing a great job.

I can't blame you for a second! It's one of the nicest blue's I've ever seen in that shade. Show pix of your progress when you start painting stuff
