I have used recycled plastic garden edging from any garden centre. Comes in 15 m lengths. Easy to work with. Heat with paint stripper gun to shape. Cut with hacksaw.

Re: Flares- conveyor rubber or similar
This all depends on what you want your truck to look like in my opinion, just go get some conveyor belting etc. if your not to worried about an industrial appearance ( most engineering or home improvement shops have it) or if you want it to look more original spec get on the internet and buy some proper moulded flares, they arent very expensive.
