Is Upper moulding available?

I know there's upper molding available for trucks that has a chrome insert (not wood) with a kind of pointed tip at the front fender. Is this type available for blazers? I think a nice two tone with the upper moulding acting as a divider would loook cool. Any pics as well? Thanks

I do not know if it is or not but it would not be hard to make. From the B pillar forward is all the same as a truck. Then you would need short bed side moldings and just be very carfull and trim it to the right length and do some shrinking and folding to the leading edge to fit the blazer.

From what I remember, you couldn't get a two-tone Blazer - they only came as a solid color. I really like the look on the Blazers, and I might get the truck trim and put it on mine.

Use shortbed PU trim and shorten the top bed piece and the lower piece between door and rear wheelwell. (Orangeuavol's Blazer)
