Need a drip rail ASAP...and some advice

Ok so I pulled the drip rails off my truck for paint and in my hurry to get it to the body shop, I left the front drivers side on top of the truck when I pulled it off and it's gone now. So I need one badly What vendors sell them ! It's off an 87 crew cab, . Also a little confused about how to put them back on. When I got the little bolts out, which I had to do with needle nose pliers cause I couldn't get a socket in there, there was tape on the back side of it. Do I need to put something in between drip rail and the body or just bolt them up. Then should I run a bead of silicone around them to keep water out or do I need to use seam sealer. All help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

2 sided body tape works good to hold them down and seal the holes, if not some seam sealer around the holes. Stay away from silicone on anything exterior.
