    Just picked up my 2016 DCLB and there is no c-channel on the cab side of the bed. My 2009 DCSB had one. I use it for my mountain bike fork mount.

    Is this normal?

    Can I purchase?

    Thanks,
    Brian

    Thanks Forty2.

    May just see if the header rail is drilled the same from my 2009 and transplant it to the 2016.

    I'm pretty sure it is drilled the same, a few people on here have swapped it over from 2gen to 3gen.

    Thanks for this thread and the part number. I've been meaning to ask this but kept forgetting.

    The fasteners are already in your bed, there is a rail cap thingy that is fastened there. Just unscrew them, add the channel and screw them back in. I think they are T25 Torx or something like that. The channel fits if you want to leave that cap on there too

    I don't know, still waiting on mine to show up (and my truck for that matter), but as @atrouth points out you can just reuse the existing hardware.
