Body side moldings

My 66 truck is missing all the body side moldings....I am debating what to do with the holes in the body for the clips......
How hard is it to find the original molding?

Is there any good looking aftermarket molding? whether original style or not

This is certainly not a high dollar truck so I want something reasonable...I may just weld them all up and delete them.....but I think they add allot to the trucks style
Thanks

Ouch that's pricey...they sell then separately and not as a complete kit?

The 1965/66 F100/250 Styleside body side mouldings are actually reproduced by Carolina Classics, located in Durham NC (800-598-4211).

Carpenter and etc. repro parts sellers are buying the mouldings from Carolina.

Call and order a bound paper catalog, then you will have, by turning the pages, hours of reading pleasure...instead of reading online from a screen.

I also have Carpenter's bound paper catalogs covering trucks from 1948 thru 1996. Who the hell wants to read catalogs online?
