Trying to finish up. Anyone have a connection for 8’ side bed rail just like the ones on my truck that have been cut off to accommodate a tool box.

Both Jegs and LMC used to sell them, but I no longer find them on either of their sites.

I should’ve been more specific and said “used originals”.

I looked for a set also but to no avail. I made a set out of white oak and they came out very nice, so I say. Stupid me changed my mind and went with a cover which covers the holes in the top rail. My rails now have a place standing in the corner reminding me of money and labour spent on a whim. It could be worse as I could be looking at roots! Have a good one.
PS. I would like a set of the aluminum running boards that Dee Zee used to make but only when I break down and make a set will I realize that I don't need them but they will look good in the corner also.

The bed rails you want are Genuine GM accessories, but for the next body design. They were really popular with 67-72 owners and I bought a set from a dealership in SC as recently as the late '90s. GM offered a style in these years that had a round rail. Looked more like what you'd see on boats. You never see those on trucks. If you find a nice set of the '73-ups they'll likely be very expensive, since Squarebody parts are out of this world

What you show are bed caps, not rails

Not looking for information. I’m aware of what they are.

If this is directed at me, I gave information in an attempt to help you. I gave that info after reading the other comments talking about Jeg's, LMC, JC Whitney...all of which never sold these genuine GM accessories. Maybe LMC did, but that was a while ago. My thought was to set this thread on the right track so that you stood some chance of getting a lead on what you are actually looking for. Your thread has the odor of a WTB. Since you said "a connection" I let it slide and offered assistance instead
