I have a 1952 F-100. A friend came to my house yesterday with a 1949 Ford Pickup. In his bed he had stainless steel strips between the wood. I have those strips BUT he had stainless steel strips on the edge of the bed. They were like angle strips and were stainless steel. I think they finished off his bed very nicely. I asked him where he got them but he had a stroke 6 months ago and can not remember where he got them.

It is where the bed meets the sides of the truck bed. They were bent like angle iron would be and had the stainless steel bed bolts in them No bolts on the up side.

Does anyone know what I am talking about and if so where can I get them?

Thanks for your help.

 

I think mid fifty has those for the 53 beds

They have two different styles at Mid-Fifty, i got a set for my bed ,they really finish it off nice!

 

It's called a "show deck bed" finish piece. Also availble at these sites: Home page Horkey wood and Parts ,MAR-K Classic Truck Parts made in Oklahoma City, USA. Also from www.vintageford.com but they are distributors and are usually more expensive. Hope this helps. Zoot

 

MAR-K also sells them:

WOW Gee thanks guys. I appreciate all the replies! Now I know!

 

I got them on my bed because my bed side flange was rusted and thought these would cover it up more an give it more strength, and it does.

 

I got mine from Mar-K
