body trim
ive got a door and fender off a 78 or 79 F 250, it has trim on it that i've never seen befor, it sits in the bodyline, its almost flat with a little rib in the middle. is this factory trim or did a dealer put it on? it couldn't have been a backyard job cause it looked nice. if the truck i took the parts off of had all the trim on it i would have saved it for my '75.

Yeah, two different bodyside mouldings were offered. The Ranger XLT's had the vinyl insert. And some Rangers had either vinyl or no vinyl. My '74 Custom has the thinner version without the vinyl insert. Don't see it a lot. Most trucks had the vinyl insert. I think the trim with the vinyl insert came as part of a package. The thinner moulding was factory installed on trucks as a regular production option when ordered.
