Anyone use a "universal" side molding kit? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Has anyone used any kind of "universal" side molding kit to replace the original black or woodgrain molding on their trucks? I can't really bring myself to drop $600-700 for a kit of factory replacement molding. A quick search through JC Whitney turns up these:

I wouldn't mind not using molding at all and just welding up the holes, but upon repaint, I'm going to still have a two tone paint job and would like to have something to break up the colors. Any thoughts on these or other suggestions?
