I checked with Chrysler parts direct about two weeks ago and only two of the outside molding pieces were available. I am going to paint my truck this spring and was hoping to install new molding instead of reinstalling the old stuff. Maybe someone out there found a presentable replacement? Anyone?

Body Moulding

I used aftermarket '87 - '93 Ford moulding. Got a roll of it at a local auto body supply store for $100. It was about 12" too short to do my dad's Crew Cab Dually but it should be enough for any other truck.

Thanks for the info, were you able to "form" it for the cab corner piece?

I was able to form it to the cab corner it's pretty flexible. It comes in a roll so it kind of forms around that corner anyhow.

You can also get that moulding from Lenda Products in St Louis Mo at a much lesser cost than at the auto supply stores. I buy moulding from them sometimes

Thanks,
I spent all last winter building that truck for my dad. Its got 4 inch exhaust, minivan buckets, a headliner made out of one from a regular cab and one from an extended cab that fabbed together and re covered. It looks a lot better when it gets washed but in the winter around here there is no point.

Well since I cant seem to find the molding.
I think I will take off the molding and try and spray paint the molding and fenders black.
Anything will make it look better I think....
