Original Side Moldings? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Kool K5 · 03-02-2007, 05:41 PM

Hey guys, I was wondering if these are original mouldings. I can't recall seeing anyone else with them, and they look almost identical to the ones on my 91 Jimmy.

Thanks,
Evan

Blazer1970 · 03-02-2007, 05:50 PM

No, not original. Those are late model stuff as you have noted.

bouncytruck · 03-02-2007, 07:06 PM

Looks like the stuff that comes on a roll from JCWhittney

**special-K** · 03-02-2007, 07:41 PM

O/T...Do you have 8-lug axles under there?

1969k10stepside · 03-02-2007, 08:09 PM

Reading his past posts in other threads it appears to have 3/4 ton axles under it Tim

Kool K5 · 03-03-2007, 12:15 AM

Thanks, thats what I was figuring. What do you guys think of these mouldings? Should I keep em, or replace them with the original style?

For the effort of removing then and installing the originals, those look fine.
Unless your going for the dead stock look.

The original clips are a better fit/install than the adhesive back kind IMO, if you do decide to go that route.

You could do either black or woodgrain style, either would be correct.

I choose black for mine.

bouncytruck · 03-03-2007, 12:12 PM

I think it looks fine. Personally, I'd replace that grill before worrying about the side trim.

LUV2XCLR8 · 03-03-2007, 01:11 PM

Be prepared to possibly loose some paint when you peel those off, I know

I thought that was for added air flow, what do I know I have a Jimmy!!!

That is really a nice place to start a project, more pics...

BobbyK · 03-04-2007, 08:10 AM

I hate those factory trim clips and decided to take the easy route when I reinstalled mine.
I use 3M's trim adhesive tape.This stuff is the Best in the Business.

It's been 4 years now and the trim is still tight to the body.

**jaros44sr** · 03-04-2007, 09:02 AM

Nice idea!! looks like I'll be welding up my holes. J

Good idea! Rust loves thoses little holes to start in, I know, I've become a rustologist over the years.

Kool K5 · 03-04-2007, 10:54 AM

Heres some more pics guys:

It appers that the T-Case shifter is off an 80's 4x4?

Nasty Rockers

Bent Grill

Future Home to a 350

If you are a rustologist, I must have my doctorate by now.

Bent Grill

I think its winking at me...

Nice start, keep us posted with progress. Once you pull the carpets you'll see how bad the rust really is.... J

**special-K** · 03-04-2007, 11:43 AM

I`d leave the moulding until you mess with the body.
Looks like to have a drivetrain swapped from a newer 3/4t.
How the heck did the grille gey mashed with that brush guard there?Someone must have dropped the motor on it or something.
I remember when you first showed it here...now that I see your other pictures.
Have fun with it.

I mentioned in my previous thread. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=211729
But to recap, Dr. Hook (tow truck) did it.

Man can I hook you up on a grill. Have a drivers qual. with headlight bezels. 20.00 donation to the board and shipping. PM me if interested.

Chris27 · 03-08-2007, 02:53 PM

I have the same side mouldings on my K5. Way cheaper than buying original stuff, and most people don't even notice.

Chris27 · 03-08-2007, 02:57 PM

Here's a link to my pics.

Kool K5 · 03-08-2007, 08:15 PM

I like the looks of them, but when i finish working on the body

I'll probably try to find some stock ones. Depending on how much money I have left over that is.

And does anyone know what year truck this t-case shifter is from?

P.S. Chris27 I really like the color of your K5
