??WHY?? didn't they just put the drip rails back on?

Not sleek enough for a modern car. I have a 73 Chevy pick up that was the first year for that body style. No drip rails, used to dump water. Put drip rails on it
soon after getting truck in 1974. I think one could order drip rails as a option for those trucks. It's 2 piece, the drip rail channel and a stainless molding on the outside.
Spot on....
