    Not that I've seen they're hidden ha ha. Idk if you'd be able to get enough gusset inside to do what needs to be done but worth considering

    put the gusset on the outside of the L. this can be done by extending the horizontal piece past the vertical piece.

    there are brackets inside the tail light compartment the will complicate things I'm not saying it can't be done yet but i'll also have to look under the truck to see how it may work. My head is still stuck on useing the factory hardware on the floor including the bed bolts and there may have to be an alternate way to fasten. Alot more stress trying to brace on the exterior as opposed to forming essentially an interior gusset for the corners. Dadgummit Bob now you have me thinking

    I plan on taking my daughter and her boyfriend fishing, eating lots of fresh seafood, and walking on the beach with Christie looking for seaglass
