78 side molding question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

floppydoodle · 11-22-2014, 12:38 AM

Just picked up this one owner 1978 c10. I started to bring the paint back to life and realized that the molding needs to be replaced. I looked in LMC, Brothers and Truck and Car shop and couldn't find this particular style. Does anyone know where I could get my hands on this?

Thanks in advance.

I don't think anyone is reproducing this style of trim.

Also, more pics!

...which is a shame, because I rather like that style trim.

Was that factory trim or dealer add on? And does anybody have a book showing that it was gm factory trim?

nice looking truck from your picture, it looks like it says Scottsdale on the side, but you never know unless you have the glove box data. I have a 77 that had the cheyenne package on it, and the Scottsdale had very similar chrome on the body. I don't remember seeing that particular chrome package, but have a buddy that restored his chrome detail with a lot of elbow grease. I removed mine and had a number of holes to fill in, but was going to have it painted so it wasn't as big a deal. You may also want to ck. your vin # for the exact year of truck, 77' was the last year for screw-in gas caps, and the heavy half didn't have to run unleaded, and had the larger filler neck. Good luck on your project.
