drip rails
I've been doing a lot of looking here and the net in general. It's become clear that there is no front rail replacement piece, only the sides. So what's everyone doing for front replacement or fix? Only solution I can find is is find a good cab and cut the roof pilliars and just replace the whole deal ...

Re: drip rails
Yup ! And you might want to get one fast because we're already seeing these old trucks disappearing from the junk yards and original parts will continue to disappear ,a couple trucks I was going to part out have found there way back into the barn after what I'm seeing guys wanting to rebuild ,I know where 4 parts trucks are still in an old junk yard here ,there's even a 60-66 short fleet side in there ,I just picked 5 15 " 4 nub rims for $75.00 but I'm noticing even these hidden trucks are starting to be missing more every time I go there .

Re: drip rails
Yea I've seen a few local ones disappear also, not a big deal to me as they weren't donation candidates anyway

Re: drip rails
Come out west there's still a fair amount of decent stuff out here. When I moved from Virginia a couple years ago there were almost no decent trucks left out there.

Re: drip rails
I would like some drip rail as well. Looking for the section behind the door, only need about 8 inches.
