I have a complete set of the thin chrome trim from a 75 F100. No damage to the trim, still on the the truck that I would sell. Feel free to contact me at shane@sandenwood.com if you are interested. I think they reproduce the wider trim with the rubber accent, but not the thinner chrome trim.

anyone other than Dennis Carpenter? I priced out the wide trim for my 76 350 and almost had a heart attack from the cost! I know they use the ford dies and what not, but there's got to be something more reasonable out there.

yea, $600 for the set, not including clips. What's that, $20 per foot. Should be made of gold for that price.

At least you would get moulding and a rubber impact strip. Besides, i have seen used complete molding sets going 200-300

Unless you absolutely must have mint condition trim for your truck don't overlook your local pick-n-pulls, i got my complete set (narrow trim) for 40 bucks, granted it wasn't in "mint" condition but it was in "very good" condition.

Yes, don't over look junkyards. The chrome may just be tarnished and a nice buffing will bring out some shine. I've found some pretty good pieces there myself to at least complete my chrome for the sides. They are not perfect, but at least I have something that looks pretty decent until I can start replacing what I need with the "new" stuff.
I about crapped when I saw what new trim is going for. Granted, it's a small price compared to what I've already put into my truck, but there are things I'm willing to pay for and some things I hate paying for.

Thanks. I actually had a friend of mine give me a good deal on painting my truck and doing some light body work and I put everything back together. My brother help me build my motor. If I had a larger garage or shop, I sure would like to have another project I can do ALL myself though.
