Who has/sells the best quality 72 Body Side Moldings? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Having a hard time locating NOS side moldings for a 72 Cheyenne. I hear the aftermarket stuff is not very good. I've also heard that there are more than one manufacturer and I was wondering if any are close to factory quality?

I bought the upper and lower molding from GMC Pauls. I think you would have a hard time telling it from NOS if they were both out of the package...it was perfect. The clips to install it with were an other story, they suck. the clips for the bottom trim were almost unusable, I beadblasted my old ones, painted and reused them

A friend of mine who does a lot of restorations would buy oem trim from GM and the clips that GM supplied were unusable. I believe the problem was they were actually smaller than the originals. He always scavenges as many as the old clip he can find. So, I wouldn't blame this on the aftermarket.

I bought my lower trim from www.truckandcarshop.com and the clips I got worked great. I think the quality of the trim was good too. I couldn't tell the diff. from the stuff that was on there.
