I am wanting to put on some new "GOOD" wheel moldings and all new chrome side OE type molding. The type that came on our trucks.

The wheel mouldings are still available from GM if you wanted to go that route. As far as the side mouldings go, i am not sure who to go with. I think some of them are still available also, but cost a lot more than aftermarket.

i got all my molding from chevy duty.the wheel well stuff was good.the side molding was o.k ,looks alot better than the old stuff that was on there.i've been told since these trucks aren't that old yet,theres not alot of after market molding available.consider buying the complete set at once if you can,it's cheaper and you only pay shipping once.long pieces are expensive to ship.

chevy duty stuff is real good quality, and most of the time, you'll end up gettin GM stuff, at least that was the case when i ordered my brackets and shroud , i was just expecting some decent jap stuff, and was shocked when i opened up the packages, and there were GM stickers and part numbers on them

Thanks guys! Yes, I have bought a lot of things from "CHEVY DUTY" and all has been good. I know GM made them (Chevy Duty) change their name because you can not put "CHEVY" in your business now. I think they are now Classic parts or something like that. I think I will check them out.
