Tailgate protector?

Does anyone make a good quality stainless steel tailgate lip protector for our dentside trucks? I've found them for '70s GM trucks and for OBS Ford trucks, but not for dentsides. Hmm... will an OBS part fit?

LMC has a vinyl one. Only scratch protection not really dent proof. https://www.lmctruck.com/accessories...79-rail-guards

That old of an accessory is going to sort of be hard to find still in production. Not sure if this one below will fit.

I think I have a couple of spare ones in the parts shed.....just saying. I'll look tomorrow, or at least try to remember to look.
