MATCHING NOTES
Identify the accessory as well as the vehicle.
Pickup caps, hard tonneau covers, toolboxes and RV compartment doors are often supplied by different accessory manufacturers. The accessory model and printed strut marking can be more useful than the truck model alone. Bus luggage doors and service-vehicle compartments follow the same part-identification approach.
