Does anyone know what the part number is or where I can find the bed rails pictured on my truck below?? I need to find the black plastic gaskets that go between the body and the bed rails. I am having trouble finding them.
I also added better pictures of the bed rails. Thanks!
I’m going to have the same issue when we get around to **** truck. I’m going to use a truck inner tube, cut to fit.
I suggest using ABS plastic which is will hold up waaay better to UV and ozone. Inner tubes are a low-grade EPDM and will crush to nothing when the mount is tightened.
Use the base as a template and cut the "gasket" slighty oversized. Then take a heat gun to soften the ABS and then clamp the mount so it slightly indents the ABS so the gasket doesn't slide around.
Aftermarket "Highland Side Rails" .... Could be bought for either short or long beds. Was commonly used on Ford & Chevy trucks of the era. Pictured below is a set of NOS that will be going on my '79 short bed restoration.
