Drip rail moulding

I have been searching everywhere and can not find any drip rail moulding for a supercab. i've tried the sponosors, LMC, mac's, denniscarpenter, autokrafters, NPD, classicautoparts, johnsf100, cgfordparts, FTE classifieds, and ebay with no luck. Does anybody out there know where to get some. They could be used as long as there in good shape. Thanks

I thought about getting rid of them all together. But now it's too late in the game (just got it painted) I just need to locate the chrome trim piece that goes over them.

I have been watching for them too but with no luck. I do have two cabs that have mouldings which I think will be saveable. They are a little corroded, but not dented. I think I will have to polish all of my chrome pieces and then clear coat them... If I ever get that far... Do you still have the original set? Are they damaged or just ugly?

I only had one. And I killed the other one when I took it off.

I've thought about removing my driprails, but where I live in Washington I get alot of rain, and every time I open my door with no driprails I'd get soaked. Ive found some Supercabs in the parts yards up here, some in decent shape, but I've never paid close attention to the drip rails.

I just received the latest issue of the LMC catalog and they have them in there as "NEW" items. They have them listed with the regular cab drip rail trim. If you need, I can get the book # as well as the page # for you when I get home. The book is at the house and not here at work. Let me know if you need more info. -Ed

I should be able to get the crew cab moulding to work on mine with a little trimming...... right?

Thanks for looking that up for me.

I just got the same catalog. I really like those clear parking lights.
