new to the forum and have a question for all of you experianced 67-72 ers
I"ve just picked up a 71 GMC 1ton that has been converted to a duelly, it was done long ago but who ever did the job did it well. it has 4" duelly fenders protruding from the bed like a step side rear fenders. my question is... did GM make molding for step side fenders??? I would like to 2 tone paint the thing but havent found any molding for the rear fender section. Help anyone!!!

More correctly, there were no factory stepside bed or fender moldings. However 67-70 stepsides could be ordered with cab only lower moldings as applicable.

Welcome.
You asked a question I've always wondered. I like the side molding and think it would look cool on a stepside.

Re: new to the forum and have a question for all of you experianced 67-72 ers
I feel a little silly now... I guess GMC made a few of theses things. mine is a 1 ton duelly and I thought the duelly fenders were an owner add on, But then I found another one here on the forum with the same shallow fenders on a none step side bed, to acomidate the out side tires. Mine is also an extended bed.. It's 8' 10" or very close to that. It has a factory extention between the cab and the bed.. It has the factory 396 in it..Or the 402. the valve covers say Invader 400 on them, and after an hour of putting new points in it and fuel.. fired right up and purrs. But I am bummed about the no molding issue, I'll have to look at other paint options..by the way.. how do you attach photoes to your posts?

Welcome to the board. To attach photo's check out this thread: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=209103
This thread is found in the FAQ forum (frequently asked questions). By the way I live just up the road from you in Arlington. If you need any help just ask me or any of the Mods. Is your truck the one from over on the Peninsula?

Sounds like you have a 133" wheelbase 1 ton with a Longhorn bed. We need to see pics ASAP.

Re: new to the forum and have a question for all of you experianced 67-72 ers
Should be a chassis-cab with an added bed or the GMC equivalent of a Longhorn with added dual wheels. The VIN or model number would tell the story fast.

Re: new to the forum and have a question for all of you experianced 67-72 ers
Welcome to the site. The other truck you saw was modified,just like yours. GM built it's first dual rear wheel Fleetside/Wideside in '73,which is when 1t pickups went to the same wheelbase as 1/2t and 3/4t trucks.

Re: new to the forum and have a question for all of you experianced 67-72 ers
well, here is what I have. like I said, i would love to paint this in a 2 tone like a lot of other full bed rigs are painted, but the small duelly fenders will impeed that. the truck is missing the radiator but that is all that is keeping it off the road. i have started it and moved it into the shop. so everything is working on it.

Re: new to the forum and have a question for all of you experianced 67-72 ers
With a little heat, you can bend the moldings to wrap around the dually flares. I had planned to try this with my '67 dually with the '67 - 68 trim. Here's one that had it done.

Re: new to the forum and have a question for all of you experianced 67-72 ers
They are definitely different. GM never made dually pickups, so the ones you see have been conversions, and that's why you don't see too many of them. Here are a few more for you:

Re: new to the forum and have a question for all of you experianced 67-72 ers
Thanks everyone for the other picks and information. 67_C30 thank you for the picks of the other conversions. mine is in the very beginning stages of what I want to end up with, but these picks you found give me some ideas to work with.
