Supercab trim

I have looked everywhere that I could possibly think of and I'm running out of ideas.

Does anyone know a place that has upper trim molding for supercabs? The chrome/black trim that goes in that wide groove along the body.

EDIT: year is 78.

I have their most recent catalog right here and I don't see any supercab styleside molding. Am I missing something?

Looked there too. I read in some thread here that someone tried calling Dennis Carpenter about making Supercab trim and he wouldn't.

Maybe I'll get lucky at the junk yard.

Let me know if you find a source. I have a 78 F250 Supercab (see gallery) and am looking for driver side drip rail trim.

the trim on super cabs is identical to regular cabs. with one exception the super cab has a longer rail piece from the door to the back of the cab. lmc sells all of it and the 2 extra pieces for the supercab.

I'll have to give them a call then because I don't see it in my current catalog.

On another note, do you know how the quality of those parts are from LMC?

My truck doesn't have ANY trim. I would like to eventually get the full set of stripes that fit in the groove along the truck.

Looking at the pricing, it seems rather costly, so it's not something I am going to do right now (trying to plan for the future a bit). I'm going to the local pick-n-pull tomorrow though, maybe I'll happen upon a nice rust/blemish free full set for a supercab!

One can always wish, eh?

I was going through the same problem. I just bought everything I could new and polished the crap out of the pieces I couldn't get.

I have been collicting the trim ( i call it the ranger trim "alum with the large rubber down the center). Found a nice set in a yard a few years back and the guy wanted 300.00 for the whole set. Well i passed on it and have been pulling it at the local pull and save ( i only take the nice stuff) and they call it a large molding and i pick it up for 2.99 a peice. I have collected enought to do about 3 trucks or so. So check the yards it is there and can be had very cheap.

I went to the junk yard today and to my utter and complete surprise, found the two pieces that are specific to the supercab. 10 bucks :-) No other worth-while trim though.

They are in great shape, dirty as hell, but can be polished. Not bent, rusted or anything! Now I just have to keep an eye out for the rest of the trim because like msb71 said, $650 is just a tad too pricey.
