1st gen bed rail caps, where can I still get them?

[Firstgenfanantic]

Years ago, many companies in the aftermarket relm offered some bed rail caps for older body style Dodges, Chevys, and Fords. I have looked around for a company that sells a complete set (2 side rails, front of bed, and tailgate)... ... ... no luck. All I seem to find is the 2 side rails being offered. I would like to find something in polished aluminum or stainless, and or diamond plate. Anyone know of a source?

I just ordered two tailgate protectors, aluminum diamond pattern for mine from the local farm and ranch supply. I think they are Dee Zee.



I saw a front box protector on the shelf while I was there.



Let me know if you need it. 303-506-5135

Kurt, I would be interested. I need all sides for the bed (front panel, tailgate, and 2 sides). Let me know what the prices are. Thanks!

Front bed edge protector; $90.

Side bed caps; $135;

Tailgate edge protector; still checking price.



I think Deflecta shield may offer them too or, are these the same?



I will continue looking.

Wow! I had no idea these pieces were so pricey. I wonder if anyone else makes them still? I do appreciate you looking for me.

Dee Zee stuff can be ordered by most autoparts stores, Westbay, Four wheel Parts, probably even Autozone or Schucks.

found some that aren't Diamond plate,

they don't show the tailgate or front rail protector but the part number for the second gen front rail protector is the same in the Dee Zee one so if you look for a second gen front rail protector it should work.

last summer i found 2, new in box, tailgate protectors at a flea market. they arent diamond plate, just regular extruded aluminum, but i bought them anyway. i dont think i could go wrong at $1 each!
