Anybody know who sells these?

They are pricy if I remember correctly.

Lots of good info there. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2005 Posts: 42 Apprentice | | Apprentice Joined: Feb 2005 Posts: 42 | This is great information! I am in the process of buying a truck that has this bed trim, and there is not a lot of information out there about it.
I'm curious what the option or RPO number for this trim package was. Does anyone have that available? I can't find it in any of my books (standard catalog, factory shop and assembly manuals, etc). | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | you won't find it listed anywhere as it was one part of a deluxe trim package that would have been included if the truck the package was for was a fleetside, and it was a one year thing - all the books like assembly manuals are reprints of the 55 manual - would need a 'salesmans accessory options listing' kind of book from the 59 model year to show it, where the RPO number would be for the deluxe trim package on any TF pickup [chrome bumper, headlite rings, hubcaps, and cab-window trim + some interior stuff]
