67/68 stepside with trim pictures please - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Custom 68 · 09-08-2003, 09:22 AM

Hey all. I am looking for info and pictures of a 67/68 stepside with the factory trim. Was there even any trim on the bed?
Thanks
Dave

I'm gonna say no. As usual there will be somebody somewhere whos grampa ordered one from the factory.

A stepside with trim would end at the cab corners.

I've never seen one and can't even picture one with it. The lower trim might look alright if you could get one to follow the lines on the stepside fender.

Custom 68 · 09-08-2003, 09:53 AM

guys that was exactly what I was thinking but I wanted to see if it was even possible. I think I will stick to my original plan and look for a fleet short bed and go from there.
Thanks but by all means anybody else that wants to add here feel free to.

I have seen shortbeds with the cab trim, but I don't believe that it
was original.

Jim do you mean the short step beds or fleets?

My 68 GMC sales brochure shows trim only on the cab.

I know I remember seeing a homemade dually with trim on the stepside fenders, but it was homemade. I saved the picture somewhere, if I find it, I'll post it. I think it looked alright.

72c10step · 09-08-2003, 08:32 PM

Well, I couldn't find them (that's the problem with having over 3000 truck pics and not organizing them). I'll find it someday, and I'm sure someone else saved the file because someone else first posted it.

Custom 68 · 09-08-2003, 09:15 PM

Thanks guys I guess I was just really wondering if it would only be on the cab and I guess that would be yes if it had any. There was none on the beds. Thanks for the answers

a while back there was a seafoam green 67-8 short step that someone found on ebay, it had "original" trim that went over the bed, it looked awkward and the options sticker was typed in the wrong font, which makes me think it was made up by a p/o.

Longhorn Man · 09-08-2003, 10:50 PM

Teh chevy books say nothing about trim on a step...only fleet.
