Rear Window Molding

I've been searching for a set of the moldings for the rear window for over a year and I've yet to find a single piece. I know they exist because I've seen 1 pickup with them.

I don't know if I should keep looking , my pickup will be out of the paint shop this summer so I'm about to give up. are they really unobtainium or is this just bad luck and timing ?

The wide exterior molding that goes in the rubber seal?

1973/76, 1977 before serial number O80,001 // 1977 from serial number O80,001, 1978/79 is different.

Like This? I am surprised at difficulty in finding and did not suspect it was uncommon. I'll keep an eye out for it. "Guessing" it would not of come on trucks with slider window.

The wide rear window moulding is two pieces:
RH D3TZ-1042430-A
LH D3TZ-1042431-A
I "think" the correct weatherstrip for the rear window with moulding is:
D3TZ-9942084-B

The one I have seen looked pretty much the same as the windshield molding. wider and more squared off than the one Mark8man has pictured. or maybe that's it and I'm remembering it wrong.

Ya there was thin inset, the wide like pictured, or nothing. It does bear a strong resemblance to shape of front but is less wide.

1973/76 and 1977 before serial number O80,001 have right and left stainless steel back glass reveal mouldings.

The weather strip is also different. See post #6.

I have the fat molding in the front and the thin in the back (just like Mark's) on my 73 XLT.

1973/76 and 1977 before serial number O80,001 have stainless steel windshield reveal mouldings.

1977 from serial number O80,001, 1978/79 have a one piece flexible plastic chrome windshield reveal moulding.

The windshield weather strip is specific to one or the other.

Right. The one pictured is early though. Not late 77-79.
