anyone know if the drop sides for flat bed trays, are an off the shelf item, or are they just custom jobs.









i was wondering if anyone had the length for a dual cab lux tray(drop side style).

flat bed.

Mine's 5'6", but I hope to make one 4' soon.
So it could be anywhere in between I guess.

Mines 5' 10"

I wouldn't mind a foot or so shorter but them I wouldn't be able to fit all the camping gear in when we go away as It just fits in now..

the tray sides are off the shelf, I bought the panels for mudlux's tray from triple m trays up here at yatala, for the $40 for a 2100mm long folded panel it was not worth my time making them
