Help finding BLACK bed rail caps!

I am trying to find BLACK plastic rail caps (covers)/ tailgate cap (cover) for 2001 F250 SD w/ 6' bed. The ones the factory installed are a grey color. All I am able to find is for F150 online.

Anyone have a link I can use? I know Ford installed black in other years so even if I could find the OEM black ones to fit, that would be great.

Thanks!

Bill

I'd look with my favorites, BAK's are the most precise I worked with. Wade was nice because of the textures available. Bushwacker was a good standby, but I didn't like the drop down by the tailgate. All of these should just stick over any OE should they make them for your application.

I don't know of any aftermarket factory replacements, but you may check with your local body shops. They may have a supplier not in the accessory world.

On my 250 I had removed them and had the holes filled, painted then Rhino-lined them.

Thanks guys. Unfortunately none of those offer the rail caps for a 2001 F250. They do for an F150 and all other years of F250. For some reason NOBODY offers plastic bed rail caps for years 99-04 F250SD. Don't understand it.

Don't know if you want to go this root, you can always get some good used ones or new and paint them, I painted all my plastic, bed rail, and plastic on my bumpers with fusion paint for plastic, turned out great...

Same here on my 2003.
You can get some trim paint from Advance Auto (the one with the green label) and it works great! Identical to the OEM color.

Sounds like there's hope yet. Last time I checked I couldn't find anything either. I'll check the DeeZee part, or might just use the plastic paint. Thanks for the ideas.

If you shoot them in black trim paint it will take around a half an hour and you will be absolutely amazed at the results!
