Default Stainless bed strips ?

Where might a fellow find bed strips and get the holes punched to your specs ? I have run out of places to look.

I made custom pickup beds years ago and I used a company in Oklahoma City called Mar-K Products. I sent them the measurements and they punched the square holes in the stainless strips where I needed them. I got the stainless carriage bolts for the strips from them. They also made Oak wood to my specs. I just checked and they are still in business. Forgot to ad they also do plain steel strips.

Bruce Horkey has them in stainless, polished stainless, and ones to paint. They can also punch the holes wherever you want them, cut to length, sell end pieces, and sell the mounting hardware. They also sell a variety of bed woods.

I believe the 48-53 early Ford pickups did in fact have bed strips.
