Just bought my first ST

[DTDK]

It is a white 01, not sure what model (xlt / adrenaline, etc)
needs alittle work, cut not to bad, mostly cosmetic.
one thing i cant seem to find any info on is the fiberglass tonneau cover, I think it is stock, but i am not sure. Any ways the shocks in it are shot and wont hold it open. the shocks are marked " Super Lift Gas springs" "SL-38-30"
My google abilities must be weak as absolutely nothing corresponds to that when i enter it. anyone have any idea where i can find replacements?

Thanks

Also i have read that bed extenders from an f150 will fit the sport tracs, is that true?

the stock cover is not fiberglass, it folds in the middle also (from both sides depending on what you want to access)

So this must be some aftermarket unit then, ok i will try to find some makers mark on it then

Welcome to the forum!

On the F150 bed extenders, some "may" fit but MidnightRebel07 on here is having trouble with one he bought. I'd recommend sticking to the proper one for a sure fit.

On the gas charged lift springs use THIS to determine the part number you need and you can get them at most parts stores, i.e. Advance/AutoZone/O'Reillys

Thanks for the chart, that will help for sure. I will try the auto stores today.

After finding those my list is getting short on finding parts for little fixes on it,

1 the rear plastic panel with the 2 doors on it behind the back seat
2 the plastic vent cover that is at the top of the cowl under the winshield wipers
3 Lock for the tonneau
4 one foglight bulb

after all that is settled, it will be back to being correct and in good shape. then the plan is to do the warrior shackle lift / TT combo and the 3 inch body lift and then put a set of 33x10s on it and maybe a roof rack of some sort

well found a gas shock that will work, but it is way to strong, so i will only use one, until i can get the right units from attwood

Welcome to the forum, congrats on your new ride. If you are planning on lifting your truck and all that good stuff, you've come to the right place. Hell your in the right place even if you just need advice on normal maintenance stuff also.

[DTDK]

Here's a link to my solution to the F-150 flareside bed extender. I bought it unaware it wasn't for the ST but solved the problem fairly easily.

thanks for the info midnight rebel, hopefull i will have the time to put it to use

well i got my fog lamp in, fixed the drivers door lock (it had just slipped out of the little plastic tab on the keyed lock)
pretty sure i have the console lid sorted out,

Still working my butt of trying to get the rear window to work, i have gone through every variation of the initialization procedure i could find, to no avail, my only guess is the motor at this point
