Default 12' bed strips....

Looking for 12' long bed strips. Tried Mack parts in Missouri but they only carry 8' lengths. Any ideas?

Thanks guys.

you could buy the 8' and cut and weld 4' to it. I would try to find a truck bed builder/installer or local truck body repair shop and see if the are available new.

MarK in Oklahoma City and Carpenter both make their own strips, they may be able to do a 12' on special order. Northern Classic Trucks is another possibility.

Unless Dennis Carpenter has changed, they won't do special orders. I talked to them about cowl to fender rubber seal for a '41-'47 truck. I needed some for my '49 but they are longer than the earlier trucks, even though they make it there, they would not cut me a longer piece.

I would try my local sheet metal shop. Their business is shearing, rolling, and punching sheet metal.
