Trim

I’m trying to paint my truck in this tu tone setup looks like there is a trim at the bottom that sets a line to change the colors called racetrack trim anyone know where I could buy it?

I can not vouch for LMC products. https://www.lmctruck.com/1973-79-for...-style-molding

That is a lot of holes to be drilling to get some trim on and you need a different bed side dent trim park light end piece to tie into the race track track. Does it now have dent trim? You can always just paint it using the body line break, instead of drilling all those holes.




Tu-tone can be done without the race trac and still look very nice.

Below is a place to get that bed side dent trim with the drop down end piece to tie into the race trac. I am looking for just the end piece for sale, not sure if it is for sale by itself. You can separate the dent side trim end piece and put on a end piece with the drop down. Make sense?

Peyton,

I don't know if your truck has the bedside factory tool box or not. I haven't looked lately, but my recollection is some of the racetrack trim pieces for that application are not available as reproductions.

I kept looking, several times before noting the red and white trucks are not the same, and that blue and white caught my eye. All three look super.

You're right about those holes, if he was closer he could have all mine, it's not something I will ever re-use.

Hey 77&79 F250. Do you know or remember who has this bronco? I like the bumper. No so much the flat piece but the tubing and hood protection.

Chris sorry I do not, I saved that pic from FTE a long time ago.

I know a FTE member that is making a close copy of the Warm winch bumper. And builds roll cages, so I am sure he could make any sort of grill and or hood protection bar.

He built it as the custom requested. I think that truck has a body lift coming off, and that is why it appears low.
Pm Earthquake68 https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/member.php?u=586926 Alan also ships them.

You guys are awesome thanks for the help after seeing the prices of the racetrack and how good tu tones look without it I think I’ll do a tu tone only divided by the upper cab trim which I have thanks y’all.

Nice looking truck, you do know those are not the correct mirrors right? More like a combination of 2 styles. Type 7 mount and a 80's ish looking type 9 head.
