Where to find 91-93 body side moulding/trim?

[RSchwarzli]

I am looking for the body side moulding strip that runs front to back on the 91-93 trucks. It is the stick on moulding that has a chrome section mixed in with black.



Anyone know where to buy that stuff? Need like 200' of it for the crew cab! :-laf



Thanks!

These guys have some of the front pieces in the NOS section, but they are kinda pricey.

Wow! You have been for sure doing some searching! Those are great links. I may have to go that way. But the thought of a ford part on my Dodge is making me ponder puking... ... . :-laf

I have a fix for the problem. The chrome gets to looking pretty bad. I use a jump shear to cut the chrome section off. I then remove all the glue tape and and polish out any scratches . I clean them with lacquer thinner. I then will paint them with SEMS color coat black simi gloss paint. I paint all the parts to be sure that they all match exactly. .

Then I get a roll of 3m molding tape and re apply the strips. Now I get out a roll of NEW CHROME strip and put it right below the black strips that I cut the old chrome off of. The truck then will look 100% original as well as like brand new.

I have done 12 of my friends trucks like this. The chrome strip I use is made by the original vendor who made it for Chrysler. One thing to remember when removing the strips is that the portion that goes behind the door on the cab corner AND the strip on the vary front of the fender ARE NOT GLUED ON ! They were made out of plastic. They have hex nuts on the inside of the cab underneath the glued on carpet. . The front have the nuts on the inside of the fenders. . Do NOT TRY TO PRY THEM OFF ! Remove the nuts !!! the reason behind the cab corners was that we felt that the rubber would not flex around the curve and stay glued down . I bought a 500 foot roll of the chrome replacement strip. I would be willing to sell some of it. I could also shear the old chrome off for those who do not own or have axcess to a shear... So there you have it. problem solved. call or pm me for more details... /// MM

Wow! I will have to look into how chewed out my existing stuff is and see if I actually have all of it. This truck was pretty tough prior to the resto.

Thanks for the tips, advice, and offer! I may just end up with a call into you yet!
