Wanting to replace the bed strips for a half ton panel. Does anyone have a source? Just finding for the pickups.

I'm willing to bet that they are the same as pickup but may be a different length. I've never seen panel speciffic wood or strips.

I would concur.
take some measurements.
You can get them without the holes and set them to match if they are off.

If you measure your holes from the tip we can validate they match the truck ones. Also they make strips that have hidden fasteners that are adjustable. that word work well.

get the long bed ones and cut to size.

i doubt even if they are different that any of the aftermarket guys will make them because of low demand compared to the trucks. Not as many panels out there.
