Re: 67-68 side trim on a 69-72?

I don't think the side trim is mix and match. Either the earlier style (which I prefer) or none. The upper/lower trim that was for the '69-72's doesn't look bad with the two-tone paint that has the roof and the center the same color with the trim on top and bottom of the accent color. But (my opinion) a solid color with both trims (mine was black) would look better with the earlier style. Painting the lower part of the body, beneath the earlier trim, is reminiscent of the "Sport Two-tone" paint schemes of the Seventies/Eighties...as long as it is a coordinating color. But, on the rear, I prefer the later (69-72) trim, even with the earlier side trim.

But, my truck will have no side trim.
