S/S Bed Side Caps?
Used stainless steel in the title but thinking most back in the day were aluminum tread plate.
Anyone running the tread plate aluminum bed rail caps on their truck now days? Haven't seen that for a while. Was pretty popular in the 80's, seen a lot of the square body trucks doing that with the tail gate protector cap also. Wondering what it looks like on a 67-72 long bed with the t'gate protector cap also. Pics would be great if anyone has such.

Re: S/S Bed Side Caps?
I wanted to get Aluminum diamond plate lower side panels for my '71 4x4 Jimmy... ORD sold them.
By the time I'd scraped the money together, they were out of production. Cover up a multitude of sins.

Re: S/S Bed Side Caps?
Have any pics of you truck with the tread plate rails installed? I have the tread plate tail gate protector and thinking about the side rails also. Did you cut in the stake bed pockets?
