Bed rail caps

Does anyone know of any good quality bed rail caps that fit well on an 8' bed dent? I prefer black plastic or smooth stainless. I really just want something like what's standard on current models that look like a factory fit.

I haven't had much luck, especially for an 8' bed.

Ck out ones for a 96 Dodge long bed, they seem to fit ok. At least this is how I remember it from many years ago, when I test fit a set off my dads old 96 Dodge truck.


LMC's are for a short bed...dang. Truck Parts and Truck Accessories

Bud:

Did you get the QMI version? Do they have holes in them?

Sweet truck, by the way. I've always wanted the factory chrome rear bumper because it looks really good, but you never see them. I guess they aren't very practical. I thought about putting some sort of step on my receiver hitch to be able to keep a step.

I'll have to check it out. I figured that some current version might work, and was just hoping someone else had discovered what fits best.
