Thin side trim

I have a full set of the thin side molding. There are no dents just needs to be shined up. I was wondering if anybody who had the big trim wanted to trade. I don't want the racetrack molding. I have all the hardware and clips so I would hope your is too. I know that your probably like it can't be dent free but they are.

If I still had the trim from off my truck I'd jump on it, because that is trim I want on mine now. But I sold my original big trim with the rubber insert a few years ago.

I have the same trim as in your photo, but what I need is the plastic clips. Do you know any source for them?

I do not know where to get the clips. I knew that they would be hard to find so I was careful taking them off.

I have the long bed set. The race track clips are not the same to my understanding.

Yes I believe they are different clips also.

Yes, the "Race Trak" trim is narrower, approx. 3/4" while the thin aluminum trim is around 1-1/4". It seems that no one reproduces this trim and that is why the clips are unavailable.

I'm almost certain it's the same stuff, it's only 2 bucks just order or call, the narrow "dent" trim takes the same clips as the lower race track trim.
