It's aftermarket, has pointy ends. Genuine Ford: The ends of the rails do not extend past the stanchions.

Yes,I have a place here locally and thought I would get them to look at before I take off truck.Problem is I have some pitting started and not sure about the condition of bottom gaskets.I figured I could maybe fabricate some type of new gasket though.

Make sure that the gasket material doesn't absorb or retain water or attract dirt. Too many times I've seen good intentions with temporary gasket material left in and rotted the bed sheet metal.
