Just get the black ones , wipe the black off with lacquer thinner or paint reducer and repaint them. The masking is the only time consuming part.

I have a black set on my part out i can sell you, you could strip and repaint them as stated above.

looks like they were all black except for the 1977 model year. just get the black and remove the black paint. i need yelow and think that is what i am going to do.

i already have the arch moulding that are black and think repaint is the ticket. as i think i could find chicken lips easier than the already painted yellow ones only used on the 1977 models. thanks guys for the help

I don't recall a factory version offered with no indent.

You'll probably have to check JC Whitney for a generic version/bulk stock, or try to adapt a passenger car application (my '74 Chevelle does not have an indent in the wheel opening trim).

The suburbans had smooth trim in the last couple years of production. They will only fit 81-87 trucks since the front fender opening is different. Look for the 88-91(?) Suburbans and you will find the slick wheel arch trim.You can make them work on the 73-80 trucks by modding the trim a little but they are a different size in the front.

Ah - good thought. I'll have to pay better attention the next time I see one.
