Derek24: Sorry I couldn't get a picture of the measuring tape. Me and stolenheron tried several times but it was impossible. From inside to inside of the metal bushing pressed into the eye of the leaf it's 1 1/8 inch. Hope that helps.

Thank you!

My 1980

I would like to know what color this is. I am looking at an 80 pickup that is factory paint, very similar to this. I am looking to repaint but not sure on the color code.. Thanks!

Also, If anyone with the shortbed can get me a bed measurement I would really appreciate it!

I can get you a bed measurement in the morning. Inside to inside? Or outside the bed-rails?

probably outside rail to outside rail. I am just trying to figure out what size soft topper will fit on these. Thanks!

Gotcha. When you figure out that softtopper, let us know on this thread. I'd be very interested in seeing you put one on our trucks. I just don't have the coin to throw at one to see if it fits on not or to have to make it fit.

Where did you find these? I've searched for hours for pics of our trucks with them.

 

[TenaciousTJ]

Yeah, so did I. Somebody here on expo posted the photos in my 1st gen thread. I too searched forever, but couldn't find the photos. I plan on adding one to mine long bed truck.
