And all gaskets are correct for them. . Humm? Was going to make wooden top rails for them and stain the wood to match the trim on truck.

Shortbed trucks with rails ALWAYS had 4 braces just like the long bed trucks. We got a new squarebody every year up until 79 and my dad always had to have the bedrails on them. Your second set of brackets are Off something else. I am sure you could use them on a Chevy though if so desired
