I had a 1995 Nissan PU. I put a fiberglass camper shell ("cab-high cap" 
in the trade langauge) over the bed, which also provided dry lockable 
storage. Yakima sells "artificial rain gutters" that bolt to the top of 
the cap. You can then use any rain gutter rack. Biggest problem for me 
was steeling myself to drill eight holes in my new $800 cap. Oh, I also 
opted for the fully-opening-from-the-outside side windows. Well worth 
the cost.
