Good luck on a finding a short bed set, you would be better off finding some hens teeth, and a pallet of OEM push bars.

Hope someone has a some for you.

1973/79 F100/350 Styleside upper side mouldings without vinyl inserts:

The R&L specific front fender, R&L specific door, R&L specific cab corner (except Super Cab) mouldings are the same.

Only the length of the R/L (same) quarter panel (bed side) mouldings are different.

D3TZ-9929038-F .. Quarter Panel Moulding without vinyl inserts-6 1/2' Bed / Right/Left is the same / Obsolete

Just to be sure, the side moldings to the 70-72 DO NOT fit, correct? they look exactly like what i have seen for examples and the clips look the same.

Pic of what you are referring to? I took all the side trim off my short bed donor truck. If it is what you are looking for, then I will give it to you.

Well... Worst case, if you can find it for a long bed, you can probably cut a section off the front of the bed and cap it off. I know nobody wants to cut stuff like that, but I figure if nobody else is going to use it then why not. Especially since the short bed stuff you want is obsolete.

Good luck

If you find any, be sure and get all the clips, too. They aren't reproduced either.

When the mouldings were bought from Ford, they came with the clips.

Upper: Fender & Cab Mouldings / Lower: Bed and Tailgate Mouldings.

Two letter codes in circles are the specific clips and their locations. Listed separately.

Be aware that new/used car dealers would install 'gypo' (aftermarket) side mouldings on 'plain jane' Customs to dress 'em up. Some of these mouldings clipped on, some came with adhesive backing.
