Bed Board Thickness

[jmccrack]

I am just finishing up my tailgate install and I need to trim the back fibreglass. How thick are the bed boards that FFR supply?

Hi Jerry:

Please see photo for the answer…

thanks Pat. Did you cut the fibreglass right down to the SS bed. I know you did not use the SS bed, but where it would have been.

[Pat Landymore]

Yes, approximately. Then I installed some edging purchased from Amazon to dress up the edge a bit seeing as my bed base is removable.

It looks like this….

If you want to use some edging I’d be happy to drop a 10 ft length in the mail…

[jmccrack]

Wow! That would be fantastic. It’s a big ask on my part and very generous on yours how can I compensate you for it? Also you must have (when the tailgate is down) attached the exposed fiberglass to the frame somehow. I can see how it can be done but in all the pics I see there are no screws visible.

Hi Jerry:

You have my email address. Send me your full snail mail address and I’ll make it happen. I just had a different board member graciously mail me something…so feel like I owe the FFR community to even things out….

No worries! 👍🏼😁

PS. I’ll send you more details on my installation with the edging.

Is that a handle I see in the photo? if so did you hinge the bed to be able to get to what is underneath such as gas tank sender and pump?

[Pat Landymore]

Howdy Chuck!

It isn’t hinged…it lifts out completely in seconds. Yes for access: gas fill, fuel pump/filter, water-methanol tank and battery.
Also fitted with quick release mount for my bicycles.

Hi Jerry:

Because I made my box removable as one piece, it isn’t attached to the frame. What I did was securely tie the outer edges of the roll pan to the inner edges of the box sides using a combination of pop rivets with washers on the inside.
