They makes some flat ended ones...may have to swap them eventually. Opinions welcome.
Now I have to cut the bed fill door into the wood & center strip correctly. this will be a case of measure THREE times, cut once with fingers and toes crossed.

I like the look of the acorn nuts! I wasn't really happy with the look of the lock washer & nut at front bed side corners either.
After the measure THREE times, drill a 1" hole and look to see if you are centered where you need to be, if you are off you can correct it.
I decided to go with a fender door, instead of a bed fill, this is out of an 89 Ford Aerostar, has the same reverse curvature only needing an 1/8" rework.
