Probably means it is a good match for the original factory job. These were built as a workhorse, not a show pony.

Maybe you have covered this before?
the reason I reversed the tub front wall is so I can get the capping to run all the way around the tub......in essence I will put a rear corner capping on the front corner and infill between across front of tub with capping where usually is the tailgate gapQuote:
