Hey Mike look up bigblock 68 on the board, he opened a store selling new parts. He has some nice stuff maybe he can save you alittle $$$.

[67cheby]

Will do thanks for the tip !

[raull]

hey mike , i know new parts looks nice but factory fits better , if you are replacing all those pieces that are on the picture you posted they are around 700.00 bucks , maybe beat down the trim guy some , just saying not trying to drive you nuts or nothing , lol !!!!

[67cheby]

i know , i know...but they say that the Mar-K trim fits perfect ! it is made in Oklahoma City

surely you know someone that works there that could get a brother a discount ????

[bundeber]

I was looking at the same thing, that's a big chunk to bite off to purchase a set. I just sent you a PM, but I could help re-coup some of those costs by purchasing your gently used trim for a DD that I'm building this summer.

hopefully you do, this should be one helluva truck!! Speaking of calling card, I just received my envolope from you containing a couple decals and your business card!! Nice quality stuff already and I have not even seen the actual SLOSH TUBZ in person yet

Well not to be picky, but the passenger side fender piece doesn't fit perfect. It takes some force to make fit. I emailed Mar-k about it and they said the following.

"This is due to an inconsistency in our tooling, so unfortunately it is not something we can easily change.

In order to fit the moulding more easily, our engineer suggested:

1.Start with the center screw at the top of the wheel opening, as it is not slotted.
2.Then begin attaching at the back of the wheel opening and working your way to the front.*

You will have to press hard to make it fit, but it should be a little easier and help avoid damage to your moulding if you proceed in this manner."

I am still overall happy with their product though.

Yes, fit good. I quickly just test fit everything when I got my order in because I was curious if it fit as well as everybody says. I'll give them a 99%

A few pics of the moldings..

I was going to say check out Bowtie's thread, but turns out that he went out and bought new moulding too. Maybe he got a deal?
