First of all I apologize if this has been covered. I tried doing a search and got nothing. I have a 2006 Flareside FX4 with 6.5 bed. I am trying to get rid of the old plastic bed rail caps, and get something steel or aluminum so that I can get it line-xed to match the rest of the bed. The problem I am running into is that it doesn't seem like anyone carries anything for flaresides. I have looked at Putco and a couple of others. If anyone know's of anyone that carries something like this, it would be really helpful.
haha glad to see you came over! have you checked jcwhitney? they usually have a ton of different styles in bedrail caps... dont worry this hasnt been covered yet
I appreciate the invite and info you gave, I tried a couple of places, didnt even think of JC although it should have been the first on the list. I considerred that, the main reason I am wanting to get caps is because the tailgate piece has busted off twice now. Not real keen on paying $60 for another one given it's track record.
i checked on jcwhitney for ya...says that they have them for standard bed but they also have this new garuntee that something fits an application...may not hurt to give them a call...
JCWhitney Just got off the phone with JCWhitney, and they have nothing for it. I am thinking of maybe contacting a local shop, but I am afraid of the price that they hit me with. I understand someone has to do the research, just wish it was someone else on the recieving end of the bill.
I have looked into diamond plated bed caps as well since I purchased my 06 in 06. Have never found a site/company that had any bedrail products for our trucks. I had contemplated making my own set, but no time w/ all my other projects ongoing.
Just take off your stock bedcaps, clean them, and spray them with Krylon Fusion paint. Works like a charm. Also the windshield wiper cowls likes a fresh coat of paint too.
Yea, this is a great alternative if you are wanting to swap to metal since your plastics faded. I did this to these parts, plus my rear bumper step... Friends were asking if I just got it replaced w/ a new one.
