Chrome Trim Rail Things on the top of the Bed - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Sorry, don't know how else to describe these. I have bolt holes on top of my bed sides and I think that this is where these rails are supposed to go. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? If so, what is the proper name for these and are they available as repros? LMC sells something called SportRails, but I don't think this is a reproduction part.

I'm going to keep scouring, but hopefully someone knows what I'm talking about and can point me in the right direction.

Thanks,

Darren

If you are talking about the chrome or diamond plate trim that covers the top of the bed, like on the top edge of the tailgate and bed sides... they were never a factory part, and no dealer accessories that I am aware of, so there wouldn't be a reproduction part of it... just aftermarket.

Here's what I should have done in the first place. Thanks to GMCpaul's for allowing me to steal these pictures.

Are these aftermarket parts? I swear I've seen something similar, but more tubular on a different CST. I just can't remember where. I have holes on top of my bed sides that look like they are there specifically for these rails.
