Can you give me some info regarding the bed strip size on 41-46 shortbed trucks? I'm thinking about getting the strips made myself.
Do the curved portions of the strips sit above the top face of the wood (making the strips 3/16" or 1/4" high?
Are the strips 1-1/2" wide?
How wide is the flat where the bolt heads sit in between the curved edges?
When the strips are sitting on a flat surface, how far below the underside of the bolt surface do the outer edges sit? (to sit in the groove of the bedwood)
What gage stainlees steel are they made from?

Going from memory ( truck is at home ), curved portions sit above wood face approx. 1/8". Strips are about 1 1/4" wide, with center flat area about 1" wide. Outer edges sit pretty well level with underside of bolt surface. Outer edge of wood plank is slightly recessed which allows bed strip to sit lower, and also lets edge of strip fit into groove on plank. | | |
