Got the ducktail in place now...

Used some aluminum tape to tape the leading edges of the ducktail and aero cap. We'll see how well the aluminum tape holds up...

With the brackets secured to the cab and the ducktail secured through the brackets into 1"x2" wood strips...I don't think this ducktail is going anywhere or flipping up from the rear like my previous versions did.

After this trip, I will trim the leading edge of the sides so they don't extend onto the cab.
