Sad NOS trim story
My Dad had a '68 from new. Nothing fancy, a really bare 910 (Canadian GMC 1500). Painted grill and bumpers, no door panels, no lighter, no radio. But it did have full side moldings, pretty fancy.
They were quite beat up. This was a commercial truck that we used for the family hardware store... my 2+2 was the "family car". So, in about 1977 my Dad bought all new trim from the GM dealer. Still in the wrappers we all know so well today. Of course it was too nice to put on the old truck, so he just held onto it. Then he died in '96 and when the garage got cleaned out it all went to the dump (I wasn't there). So, somewhere in a Saskatchewan land fill is a full set of NOS stainless trim for a '68! By the way, I assume these are West Coast Jr mirrors? No need to confirm unless I'm wrong.
