Can't seem to find them in any of the catalogs. Do I need to get these custom made of can I use the steel strips from a longbed?
thanks

I think they had those strips for panel trucks for some/all years between 47-55. I could not find the strips on their website, but it is worth trying a phone call.

Mar-k will sell strips in whatever length you need if yours are different than a specific kit) and you can get them without holes and drill them to suit. I purchased them for my stake bed that way. Unfortunately mine are still in the crate waiting for the day I get to that project......:( When the times comes I hope to "punch" the holes (square) with Grigg's punch.
