Search on E-bay for finned valve covers.There are some ones for center bolt heads that look pretty nice if you're into that look.

Re: What center bolt heads are you running?

What kind of look or "theme" are you going for with your truck? That would be the best way to help you determine what style to go with. You don't want to go modern and contemporary on the outside and vintage or nostagic on the engine compartment, or vice versa.

Whichever you decide on, make sure to get "tall" covers for those roller rockers.

Re: What center bolt heads are you running?

Check my build thread. I gome some smooth chromed aluminum ones off ebay a few years back that came with the counter sunk allen head bolts. They look nice, clean up easy, and did not cost a whole lot.
