Bed Rail Caps - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

beaterC10 · 04-23-2008, 03:10 AM

Can anyone recommend a good source for a set of bed rail caps for my 86 SWB? I found some at Summit that screw on for around $95 shipped and stick on caps for about the same price on Ebay.

I was hoping to find the black plastic style used on the newer trucks, but all I have found are bright smooth and diamond plate aluminum. It seems the older trucks don't get the love the newer trucks do.

I'm interested too I have been looking but like you I have found the same ones. I'd like the nice ABS that wrap around the box rear corners.

Mine (diamond plate) don't have the stake holes either, so I picked up a few "movable" anchors and threw them in the tool box. They just screw down and you can put them anywhere along the bedside rail.

Check out Dee Zee website, I think they have the plastic ones.
