Need RHS eyebrow molding for '68 Ranchero
I am presently restoring a '68 Ranchero 500. One part I am missing is the fender "eyebrow" molding: approximately 5-7/8" long by 7/8" wide with center (painted) redline, I believe it is the same on both sides (LHS & RHS are the same) and may be found on '68 & '69 Fairlanes as well.
Any help is appreciated.

The right and left "eyebrow" moldings are not the same.
1968/69 Fairlane/Torino/Ranchero
C8OZ-16B124-B .. Eyebrow Molding-Right Front Fender
C8OZ-16B125-B .. Eyebrow Molding-Left Front Fender
NOTE: DearbornClassics.com does have the moldings...see page 125 in their 2007 catalog.

I knew that I should not used the word "eyebrow" molding: the piece I am looking for is part of the whole metallic strip that runs the length of both left and right hand sides of the vehicle (to prevent door dings). This piece is straight, mounts on the fender side, and is of the dimensions I previously stated (~5-7/8" x 7/8" with center painted red stripe). As far as I know, no vendors (including Dearborn Classics) carry this part.

1-C8OZ-16003-B .. Molding, Front Fender-Side Upper R/H
1-C8OZ-16004-B .. Molding, Front fender-Side Upper L/H
Same as all 1968 Fairlane/Torino's except body styles 54C, 65C which doesn't use this type. Rancheros: 1960 thru 1971 are body style 66.
1968 only, 1969 is different. Dearborn doesn't show these, Green Sales doesn't either. Where else to look: Hemmings Motor News (hemmings.com); ebay, or car swap meets.

Where the *&%% do you think I found those Ranchero part numbers, from a crystal ball?
The info I posted came direct from the 1965/72 Ford Passenger Car Parts Catalog..and is correct. The end spear is part of the entire fender molding.
The moldings are not the same for both sides, they are RIGHT AND LEFT.
Here's the reference for the fender moldings. Buy a copy of the parts catalog (hipoparts.com) and see for yourself.

Eeeeeeeeeeasy Bill, he's new and isn't familiar with your parts expertise. I was a parts tech for 33 years, still ASE certified, and getting your toes stepped on goes with the territory sometimes. I'll have to admit that I didn't think there was any difference in the two sides either. But then, I removed them from mine so it didn't matter. Any idea how they're different?

I even searched for them in my dearbornclassics catalog and on Green Sales' website.
Maybe I was a little harsh, but waiting on ppl at parts counters for 35 years tends to wear someone's patience down to the bone.
The angle of the moldings is ever so slightly different. If you put a left molding on the right fender, the red line will not line up correctly with the door's red molding line.

One of the parts guys would remark to no one in particular: 17080.
That meant: jack up the price, then give him 10% off.
