Appears Lang's has them - no longer with holes https://www.modeltford.com/pl.aspx?t=s& ... ips&page=1
Snyders https://www.snydersantiqueauto.com/sear ... bed+strips
Not sure if these are the same - length, shipping charges (ouch)
Speedway has Stainless Steel but not sure if the same https://www.speedwaymotors.com/Speedway ... gIeKfD_BwE
Summit racing looks to have the same https://www.summitracing.com/parts/mrk- ... gLLZ_D_BwE
eBay https://www.ebay.com/sch/cstreet_supply ... 3561.l2562

Actually, the authentic 1925 bed strips are not available, they are different than the 26 & on strips. The center recessed area on them is not flat, but convex, and Henry soon realized that put the carriage bolt heads higher than the ribs on either side, making it difficult to slide things in and out of the bed.
T'ake care,
