Well, the ones on my dad's Avalanche are nice -- and I'm sure they've got a molded plastic inside, so you won't have to worry bout denting the bedside from the inside if you throw in a wrench or something... I for one think its a great idea considering how much space is inbetween the inner and outer bedside panels... its amazing how much crap you can store in those things!

I hope they fix the bed and make sides run parallel with each other this year.

Nope, the bed gets narrower from the cab to the tail gate on the 3rd gens.

ive seen one truck with a camper, it was flush with the bed against the cab, but at the tailgate the camper had about a inch and half of the camper hanging off the sides.

oh, you mean the outside of the bed??

i think tahts what your referring to and my ford is the same way... but the box of the bed is square -- the exterior is used for aerodynamics and such... doen't bother me cause I don't have a slide in camper
