Side Molding 1977


Hi! I need some help! I would like to order the upper side molding ( front fender, door, cab corner and bed) but I am not sure about the correct name for it.
Some call it "upper molding" or "race track molding". I need to import from US so I want it to be right. I dont know if I have to drill new holes for it or if it's possible to glue it. PO weld the holes long time ago. Also interested in a set of used moldings if someone have? (8f bed) Thanks!!!

Race Track upper/lower bodyside mouldings introduced in 1977.

Upper bodyside Race Track mouldings have a black vinyl insert. The upper fender, door and cab corner mouldings were also used on 1973/76 Ranger XLT

The bed moulding is Race Track only as the end of it is curved, as this is where the vertical moulding (29396 in lower pic) attaches that connects the upper to the lower Race Tracks.

But, if all you want are the upper body side mouldings with black vinyl inserts, order all of these mouldings for a 1973/76 Ranger XLT

They sell complete molding kits.
Be careful, there is more than one with that name.

AFAIK, the black vinyl insert mouldings are reproduced by Carpenter who sells them to the other repro parts sellers and the general public alike.

Ahhhhh nuts!
I went to the site and they do sell individual moldings totaling close to $700. Some come with the clips. Don't know if they all do though. In case they do sell clips also.

Thanks for all information!!! If it's about $700 I just have to wait. t's going to be about $1400 with shipping and taxes. Mac's had set for 465 before but I suppose they found out they make more money this way. Thanks a lot, anyway!!!!!

I have all the side trim & attachment hardware off this 1976 F100. I don’t know what shipping would be but I can look into it if you’re interested.
