Help finding racetrack moulding
I am needing to buy full set of moulding top is the wider set with rubber insert, and bottom/back is racetrack for my 77 f150. I can buy some of the parts from Dennis Carpenter but not all. I'm worried about buying what I can from DC and not being able to match quality from another supplier. Does anyone have any other recommendations of worthwhile suppliers?

Is your '77 F150 a Regular or Super Cab?

The upper quarter panel (bedside) mouldings are different.
The quarter panel Race Track mouldings have a curved end where the vertical Race Track mouldings attach that connect the upper Race Track Mouldings to the lower Race Track Mouldings.
Carpenter, AFAIK, has reproduced all the Race Track Mouldings except for F350 bed mouldings on the 140" wheelbase, Crew Cab rear door mouldings, Super Cab mouldings that extend from the door to the end of the cab.
And possibly the lower quarter panel mouldings that extend from the tool compartment (if so equipped) to the vertical mouldings.
Several years ago, someone was looking for one of these mouldings for an 8' bed. I found one NOS at a dealer in KS: 35 bucks, a roaring bargain!

I've got a set.
My truck came with the full racetrack molding. About 15 years ago, I removed the lower molding and found the right pieces to have only the upper wide.
I plan on swapping that out soon for the narrow upper molding, if I can find a set. I can't find anywhere that reproduces it.

1973/79 F100/350 Stylesides: Narrow upper bodyside anodized aluminum mouldings: Standard equipment for Rangers (not XLT's!), optional for Customs.
No one reproduces these narrow upper bodyside mouldings. Some of these mouldings are available NOS (R/L cab corners for one example), otherwise you'll have to get used mouldings.
