Bed Rail Caps for Bumpsides

I'm wanting to get a pair of diamond plate bed rail caps for my 71 F250 Hiboy, but I can't seem to find any for that year range. Anybody know of any bed rail caps made for a newer/different model pickup that fit well? If so I could just get them without the holes and cut my own cause I'm sure those won't line up. Your help would be much appreciated! Thanks!

The caps up until the body style changed in '97 will work fine. I have some from a '91 or '94 on mine.

So anything from 73-97 will fit good? Any specific year range fit the best?

I had a set of checker-plate aluminum ones bent to fit. Was cheap (like $80 or something), and they're a perfect fit...

Who bends them? Especially with rails being that long.

Yes, I put caps that I personally removed from a '91 or '94 (can't remember which) onto my 1970. They fit perfectly. They didn't have the wrap-around at the end though (near the tailgate) and no holes for stake pockets, thats what makes all the part numbers different.

Do an internet search for Dee Zee 7120, they are listed to fit 1973-1979 and should work fine, lowest price I saw was $70 plus shipping.

Perfect thanks! I've got a buddy with a 77 and he's got bed rails. I'll pull one off and see how it fits on mine!
