In the process of making Flareside tailgate and bed caps

reamer
Gonna be done with Aluminum diamond plate, Not as thick as the original versions, but these trucks "should" be in retirement and pleasure cruise mode and not need HD protection.
But here's photos of the male die for the tailgate lip.

Fold some sheetmetal to make repair pieces for the bed sides.

The side of the flareside bed is rolled as well. These areas are prone to rust and there are no repair pieces made. A similar mold would be helpful in rolling some repairs pieces.
