Does anyone make those metal stips that long? I've seen them for regular 8' pick-up boxes, but not for the 12' one ton size. Any suggestions? | | | | | Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 5,152 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 5,152 | That 12 foot bed may not be from GM. First thing I'd do is try to determine who made the bed and if they are still in business.
If you can't located the manufacturer, next thing to try would be to identify someone local to you that makes/sells beds for farm trucks and see if they have an answer.
Since the bed is not real likely to be a GM product odds are good you can find something that will work without worrying about originality.

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble... | | | | | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 1,186 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 1,186 | It might be a little more expensive but you can get some of the shorter ones and butt weld them to the length you need. I'm going to be in the same boat here shortly with my 12' flatbed.

I don't see these long bed strips as a problem...
