Red accented lower 67 - 68 side molding? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

67_C-30 · 08-20-2013, 11:08 PM

I have seen a handful of '67 and '68 trucks with red accented side moldings. Most of the ones, I've seen and GMC's, but I have seen a Chevy done this way. The pics below are a '68 GMC and the red paint is factory to the best of my knowledge. The other pic of a '67 Chevy, but I would the builder did this one.

Was this a GMC only thing? Was it part of a certain package?

67_C-30 · 08-20-2013, 11:18 PM

Well, after seeing that black '67 Chevy on this board, I can see that moldings and emblems are air-brushed, so I know for sure that one is not original now!

67c10rustbuket · 08-20-2013, 11:27 PM

I think it was original on certain packages, maybe 67-68 "custom" ???

Here are a couple pics from a 67 custom, family owned by 67cheby since new I think. Truck was originally black.

So these were original from a Chevy truck?

My 67 GMC has original red in the moulding. It is a custom but unsure if that means anything.

67_C-30 · 08-21-2013, 07:24 AM

So this seems to be more common than I thought.

I believe the red trim was a "GMC only" item.

my 68 gmc burb has the red stripe as well, its a custom too

robozride · 08-21-2013, 07:26 PM

This is my 68 Custom... under the black tape is the original red paint. This truck is a two owner and im sure its never been changed, so maybe chevy had it as well.

It seems to be a Custom thing for sure. There was a green '68 Chevy LWB here in town years ago that had them too. It stands out on my because the red popped off the green. It appeared to an original, unrestored truck, but I don't know that.

67_C-30 · 03-28-2018, 08:42 PM

Bumping this back up.

Has anybody else ran across the red trimmed moldings?

**KevinK7** · 03-28-2018, 08:55 PM

For the recored, ...my '68 is original (and a Custom), ...but the trim is Black.

CSTGURU · 03-29-2018, 11:29 PM

My truck is a 1968 GMC 910 original paint 503 Light green with the red stripe. It is not a "custom", but did have the side moulding option. It is an original GM of canada documented truck.
I have seen other GMCs in canada wiht black or white stripes depending on the color
But i do not recall ever seeing a Canadian Chevy C10 with factory Red stripe

My unmolested '68 Chevy "Custom Sport Truck/Custom Camper" molding inserts are Red. I am the second owner. The SPID just lists "Side Trim Mold EQ".

I have a 68 CST with same option code and description but black instead of red. Very low mile original truck so I am confident never changed.
Would actually prefer the red to match red interior.

72MARIO · 03-31-2018, 08:46 PM

I learned something new about these trucks today.

**too much stuff** · 03-31-2018, 09:39 PM

I have seen a fair amount of gmcs with the red stripe, and a few others with black or white. Don't recall off hand how many were chev or gmc or custom optioned or not.

**uncle** · 04-01-2018, 05:57 PM

Hey Jamie, just go ahead and paint your molding red. Then you can paint wheels red too. Red goes with any color.

Forgot pic.
