Stoney · 02-22-2012, 06:15 PM

Can you still get the GM chrome for around the wheel wells?

68Timber · 02-22-2012, 07:13 PM

LMC has it but I don't know about the dealer.

CaliDude76 · 02-22-2012, 09:05 PM

I got mine for 20$ from a local pick n pull...
it's just takes a little time... i pulled the best ones from three different trucks.. they cleaned up nice.

Stoney · 02-22-2012, 11:58 PM

They look real nice.
Are LMC's any good?

kelsfine69 · 02-23-2012, 01:04 AM

I have a NOS set I found on Kijiji. The part number on the box of 4 is #998143. Might be able to do some digging at GM maybe? Hope it helps

Found this But they only show 2??

I tried to by new from the dealership last year and they were no longer avaliable. I had to by from lmc. They were a diffrent size (shorter). They were ok at best.

Stoney · 02-23-2012, 10:41 AM

Thanks I'll search around.

RandyP · 02-23-2012, 11:31 AM

I got a set from LMC and thought they were very nice. They fit like they should with no extra effort.

I thought it was perfect.

Stoney · 02-23-2012, 04:49 PM

It looks perfect to me too.
I order them this morning from LMC.

INSIDIOUS '86 · 02-26-2012, 08:51 PM

So the edges aren't sharp or no cheap chrome? If so maybe I will get some for me after my tire chains destroyed my NOS set >

terryj · 02-27-2012, 12:40 PM

Keith, is that chrome strip on your truck stock or is it also from LMC, I've been think about replacing mine and was wondering about the quality of the chrome.

Telecasterjoey · 02-27-2012, 12:44 PM

Not too sure bout Keith's trim but I can tell ya mines from lmc and the quality of the trim is nice although if I could do it again I would get the roll not the pre cut stuff. I feel I could have done a better job. There were pretty big gaps between the pieces I just evened them out best I could.

Thanks for the info, I was thinking about getting the pre-cuts but now I think I'll go with the roll. Did you use the epoxy trim pen that they suggest??

Telecasterjoey · 02-27-2012, 12:50 PM

I didn't use the pen, the pre cut stuff seemed sealed. I would use it if you're cutting the roll tho.

Keith Seymore · 02-27-2012, 01:22 PM

I did use the LMC precut. Some of the gaps were a little bigger than they needed to be but I am ok with it (by evening them out as much as possible).

I did also use the pen, and/or some clear nail polish. Otherwise water seems to "wick" up into the molding and you can see it, as well as it can leave a dirty residue.

weider1717 · 02-27-2012, 01:45 PM

I found a set of NOS fender well chrome. The guy said he wanted $350 for it I offered $200 and he said yes. Think I should go through with that or is that still too high? it's a 4pc set.

he is a guy I use a lot with NOS parts on ebay it is part # 998143

INSIDIOUS '86 · 02-27-2012, 02:19 PM
