Cover That bedrail
Making the top of a truck bed cap look more attractive can be difficult and often interferes with a tonneau cover's hinge system. Putco's new stainless steel tonneau cover skins are designed to do just that. They work, function, and look beautiful-all while not interfering with the hinges and bracketry often associated with other tonneau tops. Each skin is made of 18-gauge highly polished stainless steel and offers a tight fit around the truck bed. For more information, contact:

More Air Means More Power
The theory of putting more air into an engine and the ability to expel that same spent air generally means more power to the ground.

With the installation of this system, the manufacturer claims 9 hp and 23 lb-ft of torque. For more information, contact:
