Drip rail molding

so like everyone else I'm trying to find drip rail moldings for my 78 supercab. My question is has anyone tried cutting down club cab molding to fit there supercab? Any advice will help thanks.

Club Cab is a Dodge.

First factory extended cab was the Dodge Club Cab, introduced in 1973. FoMoCo's extended cab version, Super Cab introduced in 1974.

Buy a couple of these and get to fabing. Roof Side Drip Rail Repair Panel | Dennis Carpenter Ford Restoration Parts

We normally use the terms like Regular Cab, Super Cab (looks much like an "extended cab", and thats a term used on today's newer trucks), and a Crew Cab (4 door).

It's an interesting idea. Were you thinking you could cut it precise enough to just but the ends together or would you try to braze them somehow? Did you find a source for new crew cab trim? I pulled a set off a parts truck, and think I will be able to salvage them.

LMC has crew cab in stock. I think a person can cut the end to fit. I found a set and the short end was so rusted I couldn't get them off.

The used set I have turns in about a 1/2" at the front end. You'd have to figure out a way to bend. Alternatively, I guess you could just cut it straight.

Please post results if you give it a go. This is one of those special supercab items that no one makes.
