Re: Tailgate Molding Question

To answer your question, yes for Fleetsides the structure is pretty much the same. The biggest exception is that the CST did not include the belt molding, it was optional 69-70 on all available models.

In your case the truck being a Custom has the uplevel windshield, rear window and vent chrome. Adding the moldings, either or both would be correct. However it must be pointed out that the lower bodyside molding would have to be a black center. Also the tailgate would need to have the upper and lower moldings and painted letters (white in most cases) to be correct for a non-CST truck. Here is a rare maroon (517) truck showing the correct CST trim.

For your truck the white Custom Deluxe in post#2 is how yours would have looked if ordered with both the factory bodyside moldings (other than the missing rear window chrome).

Finally with the trim there were two-tone paint options for 69-70. These included the white roof "conventional two-tone" and the "special two-tone" with white roof and rockers. The biggie here is that the 400 series or "deluxe two-tone" (white roof and between the bodyside moldings) would be incorrect for a 69-70 truck.
Wow. That was impressive. Thank you for the info and very helpful pictures. I'm glad I joined the forum already.
