Source for Body Side Moulding?
Would anyone know a source for OEM color-keyed body side moulding for my 2005 F-150? I assume the Ford dealership would carry it but would like to locate a discount auto trim store on the internet where I could order it. Thanks in advance.

I purchased from the link listed above. Very good quality product, perfect paint match and very easy installation. Photos available in my signature.

There is a raised ridge running the length of the trim that fits into the groove in the body. I'm not sure what its purpose was other than to fill the groove and to help keep the trim straight while you are applying it to the body. The 3M tape that holds the trim to the body is above and below the groove.
So when you look straight down between the molding and sheet metal, you can see the edge of the 3M tape The trim maybe 1/32 or 1/16 away from the body.

Neil, Can you provide the name of the company or the website address where you purchased your moulding? Also, is it actual OEM moulding or is it a "one size fits all" type moulding? I'm asking because I've seen newer model F-150's with very nice looking moulding, painted to exactly match the color of the truck. It really looks sharp. And I assume the truck cam equipped like that from the dealership. Thanks

TexasEd, the molding I bought came from the company listed in fireftnford's post above. Sportwing.com
The molding appears to be the exact same style that Ford used on the 01-02-03 F150's. The only difference I could see was the fact that the molding from Sportwing had that raised rib on it to fit the indentation.
When you order it, you have to supply your paint code. They paint it to match your OEM paint. It also comes pre cut to fit your particular cab configuration.
If you didn't look before, click on my signature above to see some pictures of the trim.
