bottom trim

Hey guys I was wondering if any one could help me out. I am trying to find the lower trim molding for the left side factory tool box. I've look at LMC, MAC and Dennis Carpenter and they only have molding for beds with out the Toolbox's. Anybody know of any where that would have that? Or anybody that has the 3 prices of trim I need that they would be interested in selling? Thanks

I don't think everyone sells them in the aftermarket world. Your best bet might be to check with the guys on here (classifieds threads) and see if any of those guys have any. Lots of guys parting out trucks, just not sure if any will have those, they are pretty hard to find with the factory tool box. Good luck!!

What LEFT side tool box? You mean you need the very bottom 4" wide stuff for the RIGHT bed side tool box?

X2 on a WTB add in the wanted to buy section.

Worse case buy the one piece and time to break open the tool box.

Welcome to FTE

Tool storage compartment located on the right (passenger) side. None of these 3 mouldings are reproduced.

1973/79 F100/350 8' Styleside pickups with tool storage compartment except F350's on the 140" wheelbase; except 1977/79 F100/350's with Race Track mouldings.

D3TZ-9929076-E .. Moulding in front of tool storage compartment door / Obsolete

NOS PARTS LTD in Waxahachie TX has 1 = 972-937-2201.

WESLEY OBSOLETE PARTS in Liberty KY has 1 = 606-787-5293.

MCDONALD OBSOLETE PARTS CO. in Rockport IN has 1 = 812-359-4965.

MUSTANG SERVICE CENTER in North Hollywood CA has 1 = 818-765-9266.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D3TZ-9929076-B .. Moulding on tool storage compartment door / Obsolete

No Ford dealer or obsolete parts vendor has any.
-------------------------------------------------------
D3TZ-9929076-D .. Moulding behind tool storage compartment door / Obsolete

No Ford dealer or obsolete parts vendor has any.

Left pic: Letters within circles are the specific clips, which came with the mouldings, but were also available by themselves.

Hey thanks for the replies guys. Yeah I ment the right side tool box, I thought about that after i posted on here. So your saying no body will have it after market. I need to just find it from a individual is my best bet. Or piece by piece from eBay or something. Hey thanks for the help guys.

No one reproduces it that I know of...yes a used OEM 3 piece maybe on ebay, or FTE classified, if you are lucky.

Or a used one piece and do some fab work? If the 3 piece is crazy price, maybe some fab work anyway.

There is a dvrs side bed tool box option, but it is totally custom.

You can use the one piece. With the door closed, nobody will notice. This is my truck with the one piece on the door.



I found the three piece set at a junk yard, but it took lots of patience and looking. (No, it's not for sale)

It would help if I know which side was left and which side was right woulnt it? lol.

I tried to post on the wanted parts adds on here and I wouldn't let me, any idea why that might be?

And thanks for the one piece trim option I will keep that in mind! Might end up doing that if all else falis. It doesn't look to bad. Nice looking truck by the way!

I think you need at least 25 posts?

....And that tool box was put into the bed side and then hit by a car and repaired again.

Alice is a looker for sure and now a "8 lugger".

I have some of that trim (sorry one piece long bed, no 3 piece) I will look tomorrow and get some pics to tell the difference for you.

No big deal. We're fixing to that that much here in Indiana.

I'd like to know if you cut it, if it would look very good or not. I have some old beat up trim like that I pulled off a truck so I might cut in to it an see if you can just fab it up with the one piece.

Since you have a old piece of chrome might as well try to fab it....

If you can cut it and then put a small edge 90 with out breaking it, you are in.

just got off the phone the Dennis Carpenter and they said they are going to start selling the 3 pieces moldings for the factory tool box in the next couple months! He said they placed a order like 6 months ago to start making them and he said there supposed to be able to start selling them in the next couple months. thought you guys might like to know that. So i'll just wait for those to come in.

I have just pulled all the "crown molding" from my truck as I intend to go without it, I prefer the clean look. This includes the 3-piece for the RIGHT side toolbox. How much is this stuff worth?

Mine is in very good shape, let me go take a pic of it...
