Longbed bed rails

Hello Everyone, first post here. Looking to install hard tonneau cover on my sons 09 double cab longbed, someone has stolen the stock "U" channel from both sides and the front. Dealer says only available if I buy the entire side panel $800.00. Have struck out at several salvage yards as they will only sell me the entire used bed. Any one out there that can help me?

Not exactly sure what the uchannel is, but did you check this site out? http://www.toyotapartsbarn.com/parts/2013/Toyota/Tacoma/Base?siteid=215411&vehicleid=388436§ion=BODY%20HARDWARE&group=PICK%20UP%20BOX&subgroup=&component=&diagram=viewAll

 

He's referring to the OEM tie down rails.

 

Thought so, I couldn't locate them.

 

Yeah only one other thread on this issue and the Original Poster never said if he found a rail source...since rails are not sold by themselves in the catalogue. Maybe try another scrapyard, maybe online, or call up Camelbak toyota parts department or TRDparts4u. Or hit up eBay but I didn't see any rails on there when I checked earlier.

 

Thanks for the replies. Please keep your eyes out for me. I have the tonneau cover dealer looking for a pair also. They have a cover on a longbed as a demo. Asked them if they were willing to sell, but they refused. They tell me that all tonneau covers utilize this channel for installation, is this the case?

Thanks
