Mine originally had the uppers and I got rid of em because I really love the way the upper body rolls into the lower and that molding interupts that. Also the lower molding by itself visually pulls the truck closer to the ground.

Look what you made me do!

I agree though, part of me loves the upper trim, and part of me loves how clean just the lower looks. I generally do prefer at laest some molding, as opposed to none at all. My favorite I think is 67-68 molding.

Re: 13 WEEKS....wheels here at last!!

Aw yes.....little Photoshop magic! I've become real familar with that program since I started the truck restoration thing!!!

Looks good that way....I like it better without the uppers. I think upper and lower mldgs look best on 2 color trucks.

...but that's just one man's opinion!

Holy crap that looks good. The ride height and tire size is perfect too.
