Why is each set going to be a custom unit? as stated in post #8?
I think they will have to be tailored to a few things in each truck. Presence or lack of rear seatbelts, if the speakers in stock location are wanted, rear washer bag, perhaps gas tank fill stuff depending on gas or diesel, keeping in stock place, or relocating some of the "peripheral" tubing,.......

Well, it looks like you guys have things under control here, I'm going back out to the garage to do some more work. 
quarter panel storage
If I am not on the list please put me on it. Thanks.

What do you all think about putting a small 12v fan in the quater panel storage area that is directed up through louvers cut in the storage door and toward the back window to help with defrost (since all but 2 of my defrost strips are shot)?

I would think that replacing the rear window would be more effective?
There is a great thread in the 60 section right now on how easy it is to replace.

I just replaces my thermostat, gasket and o-ring. Defrosting the entire rig now is no problem
Though, I would still like to have working defrost strips.

More progress, FINALLY! These things are dragging, but this is the first official set, still a few little tweaks to be made but I am getting there.
Couple a pics: The second and third show how I made a lip for some foam weatherstrip. The lid now pushes against the foam all the way around the opening and is fully sealed, no dust will be getting in the cabin.

Here is a shot with the flash to show the foam from the back. And a couple of shots with the hardware, 'cause I like hardware.
Kevin,
It is unbelievable how good they look! I can't wait for my very own!!

Now Ben, you should be able to tell that they are not yours since the passenger side has the vinyl cut-out. c'mon we went over this already. 
Yours are stuck in computer land still, I corrected the CAD files for your set last night, just think, the longer it takes to get to them, the more improvements I can make!
I got held up with these since my laser cutters machine broke down and put him way behind schedule. When things run right he usually has the parts by the end of the week if I get him the files at the start of the week. Your files go out Monday.
I think the side panels will only be offered with plastic lids, however I have that first test set in the pictures with coated plywood lids.
Since you already have a ply lid on your tailgate, are you interested in the coated test lids so the panels match? Or are you interested in a plastic upgrade for your tailgate lid?

I was hoping the picture got flipped somehow. 
I'm interested in the plastic lids for the 1/4s, and I'd love to buy the upgrade for my the tailgate as well................and EVERYTHING else you've done to your rig please. I need to win the lottery soon.

Gotcha guys down.
The first set was mostly installed over the weekend (good job Jason!)
Doesn't look like there were too many problems (other than me not drilling two holes out to the right size
)
So that means your set should be just about ready to leave Ben! ( I have to check to make sure I drilled those holes out
)
