just a simple google...have a metal shop, they could make you one that would look better than that, and if your truck is silver, id go with black...

You want it for looks or for protection. Those pictured are for cosmetic use only, although the have a great listed price....lol

Go to a shop and have one made if you want protection.

SUmmit, JC Whitney, Truck Addons and Truck Stuff USA usually have them. These are SHOW BARS (look like rollbars, can mount KC lights on them, but they do NOTHING in a rollover other than bend). Usually run anywheres from $200 (black) to anywheres around $1500. Theres just too many variations and brands to give an accurate price.

Cost me about $500 to have a roll cage made for my Shelby CSX in 91. More than liekly you are looking for tubes at least 2.5" - 3" that sit behind the cab. Even if you have one fabbed up, chroming it isnt gonna be cheap either. By time alls said and done, it may be cheaper to just buy one from a company. Are you looking for single tube, double tube or triple tube?

Honestly roll bars have been declining in the years as a popular accessory on pickups. Really only look "correct" on std cabs. Some club/ext cabs dont look bad with one, most kinda look cheesey to me wuth one. Quad cabs (or any other sub 6' box truck) look like *** with one.

If i were to get a roll bar, should i get a spray in bedliner first, or after the installation of the bar?

I would get the spray on bed liner first. it will be alot easier to put it on without the roll bars in the way. and you would have to tape them all off so you dont get any overspray on them.
