Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
We got the inner fenders and radiator support painted. We also got the steering wheel on and the gauges fitted.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Front and rear sway bars installed on my 63 short wide. What a difference. I don't have to slow down for those little girly turns now. Handles almost as well as my 94 Mustang GT.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
After over 2 years we uncrated the 427. We are waiting for a few parts and hopefully will install the engine and tranny next week.

![]() ![]() But still less than a new truck of today, and this one won't depreciate! Now if I count my time, that's a different story. |

The trim piece wraps around the ends of the B-pillar sail molding similar to how the front fender side molding wraps around the spear point piece.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
So I assume nobody is reproducing the rear cab moulding?

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Unfortunately, as forestb mentioned, it is not being reproduced. Also, there were two different types for the '60-'61 GMC and the Chevys up to around model year '63 (depending on production schedule and assembly plant) according to which type of sail molding was used. My truck was assembled in Oakland, CA (on some scheduled changes, the California plants seemed to lag behind, or it took a little longer to go through inventory than their Detroit or east coast factory counterparts). I see them pop up from time to time on the usual classified and auction sites, but they always get big money for them...the last one I saw went for $300+.
Here's some additional info - the first article about a deluxe GMC, then scroll down for the article on the cab moldings: http://www.oldchevytrucks.com/blog/i.../trim-1955-66/

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Yep, now you know why I was contemplating fabricating one. I got mine for $20...$40 total with the $10 entry and $10 parking.
