D3TZ16003B = This is the right side narrow upper fender moulding used on dents, there is no vinyl insert. (D3TZ16004B-Left Side)
The right side black vinyl insert moulding is wider: D3TZ16003C (D3TZ16004C-Left Side)
D3TZ16003/4B = I'm pretty sure this upper moulding had a painted insert. And...that's what the parts catalog appears to show.
Jermafenser...take a look in yours...see what you think. Exterior Moulding Section F, page 7.

I think Ranger429 was confused about the moulding that is BELOW the dents?

The moulding is anodized aluminum, the black paint was only in the center section.
These mouldings were only used on Customs. They were optional on most, part of a package on some others.
After 30 some years, the black paint has faded away like an old soldier.

Here is a picture of my fathers 1976, taken 30+ years ago, (My 1973 is in the background).
This molding was standard with customs IF it had a tu-tone option.
If you guy's are talking about the center moulding on my father's truck, then I know for a fact this wasn't painted. The truck was bought brand new. I've also seen this trim on Rangers, and there is a Ranger with this trim not more than 2 miles away from me now. As for discrepencies in the parts books, I've found several. I think this is one of those instances.

The mouldings illustrated in the parts catalog appear to be concave, with a painted center, these mouldings are convex.
The parts catalog does NOT say these mouldings are painted, though that what the illustration appears to show.
