Default GMC Factory Option Bed Rails

Hello, I would like to know when and if GMC made bed rails available for their pickup trucks. The 1963 Chevrolet Option catalogue had a part number 988257, which was a bed rail kit for the pickup trucks. Did GMC have the same kit available at any time? The 1959 El Camino also had a factory option bed rail set, and they may be the same stancheons for the fullsize trucks, with shorter tubes. If anyone has any insight into the early bed rails, please let me know. I would love to find a set of used bed rails from this era to put on my long wheel base Wideside truck. It would help it to look less long, literally. The El Camino set was marketed as "Holly Wood Set". Were these the same ones that were available after-market? How late were they produced? Any help greatly appreciated, Greg Mead
