BED Cap Rails

Have a 1978 F250 long bed. Can not find bed rail caps sides, front and tail gate cover in diamond plate aluminum. Checked all the normal suppliers with no results. Anyone know of any?

You're right. I have been interested in a set for years. I never could understand why LMC only sells them for short beds. How often do you see a short bed dent? Good luck.

I have a couple sets for a long bed in NY that I would consider selling, one is aluminum diamond plate & the other is polished stainless. They are hard to come by now days, if interested pm me.

I believe some for a 95 Dodge will fit. Many years ago my dad had a 95 Dodge truck and took some off. I test fit them on my 77 long bed (they were the stainless steel smooth ones) and they fit pretty nice. I just did not like the smooth texture, so I passed on installing them. I think they were made by Dee Zee. Maybe these? https://www.deezee.com/product/brite...side-bed-caps/

Twin remember that you ship them in a cardboard carpet tube or thin wall PVC pipe.

re the DeeZee covers - believe my '78 LB has three holes per side, not just at the ends? I suppose if the end holes are right, someone enterprising could cut the third hole, but making it nice would be a project.
