Different Brian, but regardless, neither one is here so you're safe.

My first choice would be to locate a donor strip that had a decent drip rail where yours is missing or rotted and graft it onto your cab. Second choice would be to fabricate the drip rail as close as I could get it, then cover it with the stainless trim that's available from most suppliers. Since you'd be covering most of it anyway, it wouldn't need to be absolutely perfect.

I have an old '57 Ford Custom 300 I've been tinkering with for many years and I removed the drip rail completely on it. However, I'm not sure that look would work on these trucks. Maybe if I saw one that was nicely done...
