Does it look like this?
If this is what you want, you are not going to be able to find it new. This style of moulding was only available from 1985 - 1986. Ford stopped making it about 12 years ago, there isn't any left over in the dealers across the country, and nobody reproduces it.
I think this moulding and the 1985 - 1986 aluminum tailgate panel are the only mouldings that are not avaialble for the 1980 - 1986 trucks.

Two best places I have found for original equipment (new old stock, NOS) is
Greens Sales Company (but you need a part number to plug in)
Green Sales Company - Obsolete Ford parts, Lincoln, Mercury parts Green Sales Company, supplier of obsolete Ford parts and Lincoln / Mercury parts. Our Ford parts inventory represents all Ford and Lincoln / Mercury products from 1950 to the present.
and
Dennis Carpenter Restorations.

You won't be able to buy a complete set without buying each piece individually.
Even then there might be a few pieces that are rare and hold a premium price.
As Lariat 85 stated, you won't be able to find the 85/86 moulding new anywhere.
Good luck with your search.

The other lower style moulding that was used from 1982 - 1986 is available from Dennis Carpenter. They have all of the pieces, but prepare to pay a pretty penny for the whole set. And unlike the 1985 - 1986 upper trim that used adhesive, the lower moulding is attached with clips and rivets, which means you will have to drill holes into the body.

If you are looking for the set on my truck that is in the picture, let me save you the trouble. The only pieces Green Sales has is the two short pieces that go behind the door. They have none of the other pieces. And Dennis Carpenter only has the left-hand side door moulding, the version with the extra cut-out for the swing-lock mirror cut-outs.

If your wreaking yard has a complete truck - consider yourself lucky and start stripping it down. Door panels, dash pad, window motors, etc., - anything left that is in good condtion, because it is getting hard to find trucks for parts when they hit 25+ years old.
