Valve covers for truck coils?? Does anyone make aftermarket valve covers specifically for the heatsink truck coils? I'd like a basic fabricated valve cover that had direct mounts for the coil without using a bracket. I'm surprised I can't find anything considering how popular 5.3's are.

I've never seen it done, which is a little weird, but I'd think you could use 5.3 valve covers and brackets. Most people that I've seen do the truck coil swap have fabricated their own brackets or modified the truck ones.

Yeah I already have all the truck stuff. Was just looking for something more attractive, and it seems every option out there is for car type coils. Oh well, I guess I don't get to waste my money haha.

This is the closest I've got. They are a tall valve cover so they clear any valvetrain and they are fabricated not cast. And the bosses are built right on the cover itself. I'm using 585 truck coils and brackets fits perfectly. I can grab some more the next time I'm putting in some work on the car
