I found that kingparts had the best deal on the molding. It looks great, but I haven't installed mine yet.

I got my lower trim at The Truck Shop, and I got my Chevrolet grill (69/70) from Frank (Pickmup) and I have been really happy with both. The truck in not a daily driver or anything, so I can't tell you if they will hold up or not, but they look great now.

Moulding quality
I have just gone through this as well and have used the following vendors as sources.
Chevy Duty: Upper molding for LWB Kenny's -Oklahoma: Outer Grille LMC: Tail gate trim Golden State: Tailgate piece with wood trim and letters All of these folks are great. I find Chevy Duty's delivery mechanism to be the best. When you order they respond by e-mail letting you know when it will invoice, when it will ship and, through an arangement with UPS, UPS tells you when you can expec it. QUALITY: I think all of these guys use the same source for parts. Right now there is a bit of a shortage on side moldings... I have heard this from three different vendors. The suppliers mentioned above are first rate in my book.
