Figured out "all the angles" with a prefect fit.
If it stops snowing tomorrow, I'll install.
Got enough stock for another complete set.

Ron's Tailgate topper arrived yesterday, and I put it on immediately with 3M industrial grade hook & loop/Velcro and some small rubber nubs on the "inside" box side of the overhang to keep it from rattling.  It looks great.  I'm looking forward to the bedsides when the prioritization list allows.

Nice work Ron!
