Never heard of those, but I was looking at the deezee ones on http://PerformanceProducts.com and those are pretty cheap.

I have the one like MountaineerTom has from Gm-parts direct and they look great. Also look exactly like my tailgate cap.

Yep, those would be my first choice I didn't see those until after I installed the hard plastic Wade covers on my GMC.

 

Here are some http://tommy3z71.homestead.com/bedrails.html of Tom's caps.

 

GM Part Number should be 12496453

I have the GM bedrail caps and love them. They match the piece on top of the tailgate.

Hey GMCJoe, how did you get your GMC emblem to be black like that. I was thinking of doing the same thing but I don't know how. Thanks.

 

Is it cheaper to order the rail covers from the dealer or online? Just wondering...

Mine were given to me as a birthday present by my father. I do know that he paid $150 for them at the stealer!

 

I'm sure GMPartsDirect.com would prob have them cheaper if the shipping isn't too bad!

I got mine at partszoneonline for around 90 shipped so yeah it is alot cheaper to buy online.

I think I'll get from gmpartsdirect but they list a different part # for 03 GM PART # 12498506 and do I need to order 1 or 2, ow they packaged ?

I don't remember the part # for mine but they both came in 1 box, so I think the part # would prob be for the set.

It is Storm Gray to match the truck

 

I pulled the emblem. I carefully took the letters out of the chrome backing, sanded them smooth, primed and painted them.

I used adhesive to re-attach them to the chrome backing and re-installed

 

Much cheaper then spending $80 for those billet GMC emblems IMO.

 

Regarding the bed rail caps, price them at your dealer and online at partszoneonline.com and go with the best price

 

I think the 03 caps may have a different number to match the new pattern of the rear bumper cover for 03?

I like the look of the gm ones, but I like the DeeZee ones made of black diamond plate aluminum better. Just my $.02

 

Regardless, they are both good mods.
