Bed rail caps

Anybody know where I can find diamond plate bed rail caps? Something that extends over the outside of the bed 1.5"-2". Most of the ones I find are the newer wrap-around type, I want something with a little more protrotection for the upper edge of the bed.

I ordered mine from Napa. They had them for 73-79 trucks which suprised me. The fit was about adverage for thin stainless. Easy to mold to the curve of the bed. They werent available in wrap around though which was a slight let down. I havent got them permanently mounted because my truck is in the process of restoration.
Hope that helps.

Thanks STG! Never thought of trying them. The wrap around ones don't come down over the edge of the bed far enough, mine is a work truck after all.

Here in oilfeild Alberta alot of the welding trucks have what you are looking for. Most guys just get a metal shop to fab them. Just an idea in case you aren't happy with NAPA.
