Tailgate protector

Does Anyone know where to find a Tailgate protector that will fit a 1973 F-250? Preferably Diamond tread like the one illustrated? I have looked everywhere,Anyone?

I have seen back in the day the diamond plate one just for the edge, I have never seen a vendor make one for a 73-79 like that. X2 on probably going to have it made. Cheaper yourself to get the aluminium tread plate sheet and have a metal fab shop/sheet metal shop put the bends in the end and cut to length.
