If someone knows of a specific forum to post this, please advise. I'm sure that this is a real newbie question, but where do you find the accent piece that goes around the door panel on a '69 F100? I've checked all of the aftermarket sites and catalogues, and I really don't even know what to call them in the first place. I have a '69 Ford Truck Repair CD on the way but thought I would go ahead and ask. Thanks.
Not entirely sure which piece you are talking about, but I must have spent a small fortune at NPD. Here is a good place to start looking: 1948-1979 Ford Truck Parts | NPD
I have a couple door panel beauty rings and 1 door panel.
not sure what shape kind of shape they are in.
I never planned to use them so paid little attention.
I can look and get pics if you might be interested.
Thanks Gembone. I would be happy to look at pics of the ones you have. Mine are not in bad shape, but the "chrome" around the rubber is starting to crack, peel and yellow.
I saw this set on eBay:

Gembone, thanks for the offering, but mine are actually in better shape than yours. There might be a few chips and faded places that can't be helped, but I haven't even really tried giving mine a good cleaning yet.
NumberDummy, see you all over the place. Thanks so much for the info. I've tried working with that part number. I guess my question is, if Ford considers it obsolete, does that mean that LMC, DC, NPD, etc. can't make that part anymore. It would seem it was a sought after part, esp. if doing a total restore.
flyboy26, I check eBay and craigslist both regularly and when I do find something, like I replied to Gembone, mine are in better condition.
The ones I have need a new black stripe and polish.
I didn't see any dents or dings so someone might have a use for them.
I also think one is missing a couple of the retaining clips.
