Tube Bed Rails for CC Stainless Steel or Chrome?

dcwinters · 11-30-2004, 10:37 AM

I am going for the chrome look on my Silver CC. I already have the chrome grill, chrome westin oval step bars and chrome oem wheels. I wanted to add some chrome to the bed. However, I can not find a source for SS or Chrome Bed rail Tubes. I did a search on the forums and came up blank. I have spent at least 2 hours surfing the web, no luck.

Anyone know where I can buy these from? Or has anyone seen a Titan with SS or Chrome Bed Rails. I have seen the black ones, but no SS or chrome.

I've posted a few times about this somewhere on this site, but I used Putco stainless steel bed rails. Since they don't make them for the Titan, I just cut them to length using a hacksaw and it wasn't difficult to do. The ends with the tie-downs pop out, so you can just cut to length and then slip 'em back together. If you want chrome, you should be able to order the Nissan ones through the dealer?

I got them from : http://www.truckxpressions.com/

The final cost was $444 with free shipping. This included the install kit. As for the drilling, I do not know yet, the install kit has not arrived. I will let you know.

Thanks for the info. So you can get chrome from Nissian? Which application did you get in the Putco? Generic length or a specific part number?

I know that you can order chrome from Nissan, but I can't say for sure that they make them for the CC. I had my Putco rails kicking around from a previous vehicle (94 Chevy Z71). If you measure the distance between the pockets in your bed you'll get a rough idea of the length needed, but my guess is that most of them will be long enough due to the short bed on the crew cab. I've seen that Putco has a larger diameter bed rail available now, for more $$ of course, but if I had a choice I think I'd get those. Here's a couple of pictures of mine.

I have the Putco Boss bed rails on mine. The bigger diameter looks good. Mine is a King Cab and I did what Homer did. I ordered a pair for a shortbed Chevy and had a machine shop cut off 2.5 inches for 10.00.

I assume all the pockets, chevy, ford, etc are the same size? Where they hard to install? Did the Trac system get in your way?
