Best side moldings for a 97 1500
 

Hey Guys
Who makes the best repop body side moldings with the chrome strip for these trucks?
Can you still buy OEM?

Thanks for any info

I know lmc has a bad reputation, but I bought a roll of the cut to fit molding 6 years ago, and it’s held up great. Cut to fit was the only option for new molding on my crew cab.

did mine in 2012

my 89 has LMC cut to fit, been there since 2010 with zero issues.

i do have a box of precut from LMC on the shelf...very nice looking =, and packaged very well also. appears very high quality

I re-did all mine a few years ago when I repainted my truck. I used LMC's front bumper strip and a kit of pre-cut for the sides. Now 3-4yrs later the sides still look great, the front bumper chrome is completely gone. It was gone after a year, so I replaced it. 2nd one had the chrome gone within a year again. I gave up.

They are both the same price. How is one overpriced?

so, my first LMC front bumper has lasted 10 yrs...looked great.

i bumped it with the engine hoist when doing the motor swap...the replacement i just recieved didnt match the holes just right and a tang sheared off, then a second...both being on the return sides of the bumper.

so now the whole driver side ends is loose and hanging...i may give panel glue a try, taping the bumper at the line i need, installing and then removing the tape.
