68 F100 needing trim
ok I'll supply 5 Pictures to show the pieces I'll need first the Drivers side
Now the passengers side
and last but not least the Tailgate needs one piece of trim too
So my Question to all of you that have been there and done this before is Where do I get these Trim pieces??? What can I expect to pay realisticly for them??? and what are my odds of finding all of the trim pieces it needs???? ......and I know the bed trim piece on the passengers side is still there but is damaged too badly to be repaired I think so thats why I need it too

All the indicated pieces are reproduced by Dennis Carpenter

All new trim will set you back about 750.00 Bucks but it is what it is
expensive to produce but worth the cost.

Ford made a running change in 1968 inre to the UPPER side mouldings.
The early 1968's (before serial # C56,001) used the same upper mouldings as 1967, and they are 1 1/4" wide.
The later 1968's (after serial # C56,001) upper side mouldings are 1 1/2" wide. These same upper side mouldings were used on all 1969's and some 1970/72's.
Measure the side mouldings, post the size. I'll look up all the mouldings you need, post the part numbers, then....
...I'll see if I can find some NOS (new old stock) originals at Ford dealers.
If any dealer has these mouldings, they will be one heck of a lot cheaper than Dennis Carpenter, because the mouldings have been obsolete for years, so the dealers are STUCK with them.
The upper tailgate mouldings are right and left.
If you replace the left side with a new moulding, the right side will look very dull in comparison.
I have already located the left upper tailgate moulding NOS.

Bill your awsome man, unfortunately I'll have to waite til after the 3rd for those measurements cause the trucks basicly 300 miles away from me right now. But once there I'll get the Measurements you need I think it's the 1 1/4 size but I don't want to say it's that and it turn out to be the 1 1/2 size and you go out of your way to help and waste your time finding the wrong stuff.................But yeah I suspect your right on the if I replace the one side I'll want to replace both
