1978 F250 Bed Cap Problems

I'm trying to order some 8' bed caps for my 78 f250 4wd and I can't seem to find any. Looking for some diamond plate with stake pocket holes. I'm almost to the point to have someone just make me some 😡

As far as I know they quite a long time ago making them for 6th gen trucks. Craigslist want add? You might ck the fit of a set off a 96-99 Dodge Ram?

These are a more universal part, but they'll work on your truck no problem.

I had a pair of Deezee bed caps for my truck but sold them cause I went a different route.

Thanks guys. The LMC ones are for short boxes (saw them a while ago). I might just have to make the universal ones fit and cut the stake pockets.
