I realize this in an old post, but I thought I would bump this thread up instead of starting a new one.
Does anyone know if the diamond plate bed rail caps that LMC carries for a fleetside will work on a stepside??
Or does anyone know of a place now that I can get bed caps specifically for a 67-72 chevy stepside?

Thanks

Most ace hardware stores have 1/16 diamond plate that can be cut to fit.
I did the inside of my stepper bed with it in aluminium diamond plate.

Awesome! Thanks Chop. My local Lowes hardware has sheets but I didn't think of checking Ace.

I was hoping Kaycee would chime in and hoped he would remember if the 90's model ford caps he used was pre-'96, which is the only ford caps I've found.

But the strips from Ace would probably be cheaper also. Thanks again chop
