Dent Side Outer Molding/Trim
I am newer here so if this is already discussed in another threat I apologize.
I was wondering if there was a place find aftermarket or used trim other than ebay?

Thanks guys for the responses and the links!
One other question (probably a dumb one) The truck I am looking at has no trim on the outside and I believe the trim was an option if I am not mistaken. That being said, can I add trim to the dent of the truck?

Mine had all the trim, but after changing bed sides, doors and fenders, I said "nix" on holes. I kept the in-dent wide trim, was gonna clean it up, even got the rounded rear most pieces to delete the narrow race track trim., but it looks too rough. I trashed the race track trim. One day I may take another look at the in-dent wide trim. One thing about no trim is no dirt coming out at wash time.
I've seen the DC trim up close on a restored truck, it is mighty pretty.

Yes and yes, but it'll require measurements, holes, clips, etc. .... and the trim.

I think I will change out the steps on it for either a single or some custom made ones.
For paint I was actually thinking of going 2 tone Monstaliner blue and white but I have not decided yet since the local shops want 8 to 10k for a paint job which does not include any body work.....

Ok so you asked. Observations are...
33's/35's or maybe even 37's?
A late year made 77 or a bed swap to get a gas flap? Do I see where a cab B pillar gas cap use to be? A lot of lift for a 1/2 ton F150 and those wide rims. Check the ball joints close. I bet it is fun to drive on pavement. Lol. I see dual steering stabilizers to help with the possible bad road manners.
Normal components for a F150 with that much lift....Did they use a drop pitman arm, radius arm drop brackets? Does it have a trac bar drop bracket off the frame? I think I can see the trac bar drop bracket and the trac bar still has some adjustment. You want the trac bar and the steering linkage parallel as much as possible.
Did they put in the correct * C bushings for that lift amount? Also see no cowl badges, are the holes filled with bondo? Painted outer grill shell. Antenna is loose. Is that all surface rust, clear coated "patina" or what? LED headlights, bed cover. Looks line new exhaust pipe from the xfer case back. Old school chrome steel rims.
