bed question
I'm in the process of rebuilding the insides of a long bed. Does anyone know of good sources for the metal stripping that goes inbetween the boards. I'm probably wanting to go with stainless. GmcPauls doesn't carry just the strips. Has anyone else ordered these? Has anyone done this another way? I'm open for suggestions.

I have the Mar-K stainless strips. I polished my bolts myself. I had more time than money.
 I like the fact that they will not rust if you decide to use the truck. If you had them painted with stainless bolts that would look cool. But you could never put anything in the back. Here is a pic of my SWB.

Thanks guys for the info. Nice bed Mario72. Really nice. Did you polish your own strips as well or did you buy the polished stainless. Do you think the wood will weather well. We have been discussing how a wood bed will hold up in the sunlight and rain. Got any idea?
