Default Bed Rail Caps

I have a 1993 Dakota xtra cab and have been trying to find a source for bed rail caps. I have been able to find stainless steel, but am looking for a hard plastic (Duraliner-style). It seems most companies only go down to the 2nd generation Dakotas. Any suggestions/recommendations? Thanks!

A quick search on www.google.com came up with tons. Some may be universal fit and need to trim. Try www.jcw.com they had some plastic looking ones.

I got Aluminum caps/rails with cutouts that I installed tie down loops in the pockets and in the center. I'm not sure where mine came from, my dad got them 10 years ago or so.

Thanks for the suggestions. Problem is when you go to each site and actually type in 93 dakota, no products match. Did find a cut to fit, but it's a rubbery-vinyl w/ 3M backing, so not sure how durable it is. Aluminum is about the only thing I can find right now.
