    X2 :D Get that Chevy out of there! That truck is awesome, the bed looks proportional unlike many home made beds ive seen. makes me want to put wood stakes on my stepside, not really good with wood though... I can never remember the whole measure once cut twice thing.:p

    Hey Samuel, try cutting some of the extra length off the end that is on the water pump off of that lower hose and it should make all the difference and be a much better fit. Just make sure you do a nice clean cut on the hose as they do not like being hacked at, keep the cut true and square. :D;)
     
  4. Thanks a lot for the pic. I currently just have a bunch of PVC elbows twisted around to downsize it. I couldn't find anything at the time that fit and was the right sizes haha! I'll have to take your picture in and tell the parts man I need one of these! :D
