    That’s not a liner, that’s the composite bed. The rails bolt to the top where the torx head screws are.

    In looking a little closer at this it looks to me like this bed liner on our truck was installed behind the bed rail rather than over top of it.... anyone figure the rails (if we could find them) would fit over top as it is on this truck?

    think this was installed incorrectly? Should it be over top rather than behind the bed rail edge?F795F4EB-216E-49E6-A057-329C339EDB76.jpg

    The bed is the black composite material. The blue is the painted metal bedside which is just a shell on the outside of the bed and not structural at all. Then there is a plastic bed rail cap on the top. You have a stock setup except the lack of rails on the inside.

    If you look at the pictures of the truck with a cap on it you can see it looks almost the same except for the rail

    Thanks for that info - that's helpful; now to search out some rails that can be found quickly (we're in northern Canada).

    The fellow that has the canopy we're considering happened to find a canopy made for an access cab and took a photo to show me the difference between his and the one made for our particular truck. There's a curve in the top of his that isn't on the one for the access cab. So it may fit but won't fit flush at the cab and with the curve may set it back further on the box by an inch or so....so we've decided we won't do a 6 hour drive for it after all. Really appreciate the quick replies from everyone to my questions last night. :canada:
