Factory Bed Rails Needed!

Does anyone no where you can purchase some of the Ford Factory style bed rails that fit an eight foot bed? Looking for the old kind, not the round type. I guess you'd say they where square in the 70's and 80's.

L.M.C. has them. Big $ though. Might try your Ford dealer.

i agree. if they still have them let me know i wanna replace mine on my truck(good shape for 26 years) they were stored for about 20 years or so(had a shell on it previously). Lightly scratched here and there. I'm trying to semi-restore my truck. i figure i can always do the frame later(no rust just old brittle paint).

Do you mean the rails that mount to each of the 3 stake pockets on either side of the bed? I have some I just took off my truck (8' bed), they are kind of square looking.
