Body Molding Question

[hart11b]

I've searched and looked at all the old threads here and couldn't find the answer about body molding, upper and lower.

I'm looking to buy upper and lower (black) molding for my 1972 K20. My truck is not and will never be a show truck, but it is a nice looking truck and a daily driver. I don't want molding that is a big POS and regret buying it.

Ecklers currently has a sale running this weekend and I can pick up upper and lower molding for right at $500 shipped.

I know Mar-K is the highest quality, but is going to run a little over $1000 for everything.

The $500 difference is big money and I can fund other projects with that money.

My question is this. Has anyone seen both Mar-K and the import stuff (I heard all the cheap molding comes from the same overseas company) and can attest to the difference in quality? Any inputs are appreciated.

For my Daily Driver I want something nice, but again, it is not a show truck.
