Bedrail caps

JSJ · August 21, 2001

I see that Performance has a couple of the black plastic bed rail caps for sale. I am thinking of getting a set and was wondering how they look on a truck? One is the Wade and looks like it will set on top and the other is a Bushwacker and looks like a raparound. My truck is not a 4X4 and the Wades look better to me in the picture. Comments please.

i had the bushwacker for about a week and a half. after that time, one of them blew right off and was never to be seen again. They didn't fit real well and i had to do some minor trimming; they were just 3-m taped down. overall, i wasted 85 dollars.

save your money and get the metal ones.

I have the wade covers (see pic). I found out later GM makes covers used on the 3500 trucks. Part number is 12496453 { From Tom's website } Personally, I'd rather have the GM covers.

They are about ? shipped. I paid ? for the wade covers, installed.

I had a set of the Bushwhackers and the holes for the stake pockets didn't line up. I never even installed them, I just returned them and got the GM caps. The GM ones are a little pricy, but I'm happy with them. Here's a pic. I had put the same reply over at PUTC before I seen it here.

Tom,

I din't know "red" was an option for the GM-Trucks.com decal... LOL

I colored it in with a magic marker. LOL j/k. Frank had a red one and asked it I wanted it and of course I said yes. :biggrin:

Tom, you know when people leave the military the job placement counselors want them all to read a book on careers called "What Color Is Your Parachute?"

You won't have to.

I have the Bushwacker and wish I'd gone Dee Zee or a similar metal product. Mine is pretty darned stuck on there, I just think the plastic looks kinda chintzy-

Where are you guys picking up the GM bedcaps. I checked into them and normal retail is over ?. My brother works at the dealership and he could get them for ?. He said their cost is ? then they have to pay for shipping. Those bushwackers are looking might nice. I want the black plastic ones. White truck with lots of black stuff on it now.

Go to gmpartsdirect.com. I believe you can get them for just a little over ?. I went to my dealer with the part # and told him what I could order them for and he let me have them for ? plus tax. Good luck
