Wheel opening molding
« on: February 05, 2011, 08:52:24 PM »
I was wondering if you guys knew where I could find wheel opening moldings for my 73 Chevy stepside. I Restored it and the original moldings on it were just beat to heck and not worth anything. I have been looking for a while and have not had any luck. I ordered ones out of   truck for a fleetside thinking maybe I could get them to fit the stepside but there is no way. The front ones will work though, it is just the stepside bed opening is a lot different than the fleetside bed openings. I have tried junkyards thinking there might be a chance but nothing. Thanks

     Have you tried your local gmc/chevy dealer.
#1: The easiest and most obvious solution to any problem is 99% of the time correct.
#2: There is no such thing as impossible, it just takes longer.

No I have not I will have to, someone told me though they tried and the dealer told them that they were not available anymore, but I will check.
