I had to replace the strip on my 1955 first 6400. I search the internet for days looking for a reproduction and had no luck. I found a original at a junkyard, hammered out a few small dings stripped it to bare metel and painted it. Good luck finding one, there out there. Go for a drive out in the farmlands and you'll probably luck out and find a old Chevy truck sitting in a field. Chevy made a lot of the big bolts and lots of them are rusting away in farmers fields
