Aluminum T Track source

[Phreak480]

Does anyone know where i can find aluminum t track similar to what is used for the pace edwards explorer series bed rails. https://www.amazon.com/Pace-Edwards-BE5084-Explorer-Rails/dp/B0018JEYLI I just need something flat on teh bottom so i can mount it to a truck bed cover and use it as a very reconfigurable mounting surface. Inspiration from this https://www.cumminsforum.com/forum/...diamondback-hd-tonneau-cover-project-log.html but it seems silly to cut down those rails if i can find something already that shape. This is basically the shape i am looking for https://www.google.com/search?q=roo...QIHfjUBhwQ9QEwAHoECAQQBA#imgrc=u5-xWODfFcr-0M: but was hoping to find a direct source for something like that instead of buying it as parts to something else. I want ot mount a bunch of it to my diamondback bed cover on my ram truck so i can then build (maybe just modify and existing product) an easily removable ladder rack type setup to haul my kayaks. I don't want something permanent as i also haul ATVs on the cover sometimes.

Open to suggestions on other designs as well.

Thanks

You can get narrow aluminum tracks from woodworker supply places, but may need to order the lengths you want. T-tracks are used for making up jigs and fixtures for things like router and shaper tables. Try Rockler and Woodworker's Supply, maybe Amazon. These tracks are narrow so may not work without a lot of fiddling.

Maybe try checking with 80/20 to see if they make anything like this. Lot of different extruded shapes.

seconding Rockler.com or t-track and all sorts of handles and levers that work with it.

Also look at McMaster-Carr. Their prices might be high, but they'll have the shape / extrusion.

Rocker’s t track will allow you to use a standard hex headed fastener in the track instead of a proprietary fastener.

Try Mc Master Carr industrial supply
