Pinch weld cover design I've been working on

Looks good, as expected. Lol! Now if only you had an Excursion around to do some measurements for us...

Will he have them available for different cab configurations?

That would be awesome.

Finally had time to lay them in place to lay out the studs I need to weld to the back

Trevor and PMF gave me exactly what I wanted...they fit perfectly when spaced 1/2" away from the pinch weld. I did it that way so they float over the bolts for the Amp steps and the 2 bolts on the bottom of the fender.

Your truck is a bit dirty.

The rain again today washed it off.

Mine looks a lot cleaner too after those storms. LOL

Why not just glue them on or adhesive tape?

I would prefer glue over bolts.

UNBROKEN · Nov 29, 2016

Bolts will be welded to the back side. No visible fasteners.

keep us up to date with these. I ordered regular covers and haven't even opened them because couldn't decide on whether the bolts from amps would look stupid, guess I just decided!! looks great

I'll have them done on Saturday. Have to make a trip to Mississippi for a meeting today and tomorrow but I have everything sitting here ready to go when I get back.

any updates? get the studs installed?

UNBROKEN · Dec 3, 2016

Studs are on and the coating is drying now. Bad weather down here today...hoping to install tomorrow.

BIG JUICE · Dec 3, 2016

ok let us know. I almost installed my pmf covers using the amp allens today, realized I was f ing up!! lol

UNBROKEN · Dec 4, 2016

Ridiculously bad pics but the weather here is horrible. That's the best my phone would do.
They look great in person. I welded 3 of the studs to hit a factory hole then added a 4th behind the rear Amp step bracket. I used 5/16" studs which are way smaller than the factory holes and I still had to open up a few factory holes to adjust them how I wanted them. Not a big deal but something to watch out for.

Looks way better than having those ugly pinch welds showing!! Not to be a pain but could you show pics of the backside where you did your welds?

UNBROKEN · Dec 4, 2016

Not tonight...it's raining again. lol

Russell22B · Dec 6, 2016

Rich are these the same ones pmf sells now just added your own studs to back or different design? I haven't even opened my box to check. Thanks

I thought about this to myself a few years ago when i got my first 6.0... cool to see this actually come to life and done cleanly

PMF has had another version for quite a while. This is a new design where I changed up the front of the covers quite a bit so everything is hidden. They're also available from PMF but are different than the old covers. I saw Trevor post they're $65 and no hardware is included. There's just too many ways people may wanna install them.
