Wheel well trim 89-91
« on: May 09, 2015, 12:05:46 PM »
Has anyone tried to buy wheel well trim for the 89-91 R/V series?  These do not have any character markings (for lack of the proper terms) and are straight aluminum.  I have tried to find any yet but are planning to start looking.  I'd like to find 2 sets

I managed to find the fronts NOS from a dealer in Mississippi.

This was a couple of years ago after the part number was already discontinued.

Good luck finding the OEMs new. My local Chevy dealer was able to locate them for me.......but as I say it was a couple of years ago and finding any left in any dealer stock may no longer be possible.

I still need the ones for the rear -assuming the Suburban/Blazer has the same wheel opening profile as the long bed pickup box- but I may have to settle for used.

GOOD NEWS:  I just got back from a 381 mile round trip and purchased 2 complete sets of OEM moldings.  These came from a conversion shop and were new take offs from back in the day.  The guy has more if anyone needs them.

I am working out a deal for quantity pricing.  I don't think I want to sit on 25 sets but I will see what I can do and maybe start selling them on eBay.  Post nice pictures.  The ones I got look brand new.  I prefer that style over the pre-88 style anyway.  I just don't know how many would.

A bunch, I will try and find his contact info if you would like.  I tried to judge interest on a few FB groups but the interest wasn't good enough to make the investment.

I just talked with the guy.  He is going to get a count and price for it all and let me know.  He asked me to give him a few days.

Here is a picture off the web.  Basically they do not have the indentation or black paint like the 87 or older have.

The conversion shop he got these from did this to them and the OEM trim was removed.
