Way back when I sold trucks I had one or two customers that bought
these and installed 'em on their pickups. IIRC, they didn't offer any
positive feedback (nor negative, other than the things were
rust-magnets -- but up here, that's no surprise). I don't remember
what the cost was -- but for sure, whatever we (the dealership) paid,
we marked it up just a little (!!!).
