Also, since it is a pickup, you might also want to consider a tonneau cover. They make the car more stream lined and keeps wind from causing a vacuum pocket in the bed. _____________________________ American Auto Moving | Car Moving | Auto Hauling - www.americanautomoving.com (in reply to TruckTrainHorns.com) Post #: 3
