So, I have taken off my chrome steps that came with the truck. Does anyone have a plug or screw that fits the holes in the body? I'd like to plug them so they don't get filled with crap and rust.

those little plugs shouldn't be too bad at the dealer, I'm assuming they can get them

I saw a picture on-line of some sliders and there were some straight-edge screws filling those holes. I wasn't sure if that was a plastic piece from the dealer or a regular screw. I looked on-line for a part number from Toyota and came up dry.

Put the bolts back in the holes. Now you have the hardware if you ever need it again.
