Would like to get it fixed up before I retire.
You know old fart , old truck thing.
Looking for diamond bed side caps and tailgate cap.
Anybody know where to buy some?

Thanks

I would be happy to get either, but would prefer steel.

Welcome, Jerry! Glad you joined.

Where's home? I ask because we have a map (Bullnose Forum/Member's Map in the menu) and we could add you if we had a city/state or zip.

Welcome aboard!

8 or 6ft bed?

The aluminum diamond plate is still readily available (DeeZee). Tailgate cap in the same style is available from another mfg but can't recall the name. Something like TCI but not them.

You can also find the DeeZee extruded and the smooth tailgate caps (both stainless?) for sale periodically. There was a smooth one on eBay just the other day and an extruded one gets relisted often.

I think TCI also do the smooth stainless caps, but it's been a long time since I looked.

Accessories like these have all but vanished now that beltlines have become so high.
The advent of spray in liners, and people who don't use a truck for work have changed the face of the aftermarket.

You might try putting a WTB post in the Marketplace.
David is pretty amazing in his bird dog like ability to find obscure stuff.

We have a member, Ron (Reamer) who was making very nice caps for Flaresides.

I'm not sure if he has a thread in the Marketplace, but I can try to sway his attention from his Bronco build.
