Bodyside Molding
Were all the 1999 F-150 XLT and Lariat SCs equipped with only 2 pieces of bodyside molding per side? My truck has molding on main door and rear door only. I have seen other trucks with 3 pieces (main door, rear door, and bed). Does any know the details on when and why the change was made?

My father told me that Ford was did this cause they were cheap. I think that the 1996-1997 last of the "old"XLT F-series looked decent but the new style looks really cheap!

Bodyside Molding
I have a 99 XLT SC Flareside. These do not come with bodyside mouldings but the Styleside does. I found a thread on this and was able to get the Ford stock numbers for each piece. I ordered them from the dealer and installed them myself in about 20 minutes. I got the two pieces that fit on the doors so wound up with 4 pieces total. Be sure to take time lining up the pieces cause once they are on they are on good.
I have no idea why Ford didn't put these on the flareside. I'm thinking of ordering the Ford wheel opening mouldings like the Lariat has.
