Mine sure didn't. The Line-X, OTOH, is like glue. I had a few boxes of
empty bottles & cans in the bed last week, you'd figure something that
light would move around jsut in normal driving. Didn't budge. And
several of us have seen The Adam Blaster's cinder block with flag demo :)

I said the same thing once I found out about spray-ins from the DML -
after buying the drop-in with the truck! Never pulled the drop-in out
of the '99 but I'm sure it was ugly in there.

You did a lot better than I searching them out. I did manage to trace
the site to Pinnacle but that's as far as I got. I figured it was Chevy
or a drop-in maker behind it. Wonder who makes the drop-ins that you
can buy from Chevy - any bets on it being Penda?
