Question Aftermarket Chrome Bed Rail Covers or Caps?

Hey guys, I took the top off my K5 the other day and my neighbor says he used know another guy with one back in the '80's and he had a pair of chrome covers that bolted on the top of the bed rails when the top was off to hide the weatherstripping marks, etc and/or the protect the bed rails when the top was off.

Anyone heard of such a thing? I'd be all over a pair if actually sold. Worse case, I make my own from 20 gauge aluminum or stainless (then polished out), but it'd be nice if I were just able to buy them ready to bolt on instead of having to fab something else for a change.

Thanks.

You probably will have to buy some chrome ones for a short bed and mod to fit. Seems like a killer idea I mean the bolt holes are already there. Just drill two holes in the chrome strips and cut to length.

My 86 Jimmy had chrome covers that bolted on top of the fiberglass. Perhaps what that guy saw was someone who put those back on, when the top was removed.
