Talking Wheel well moldings for 93

Hello all, I am looking for wheel well trim/molding black for my 93 3/4 tin d 250. I have looked everywhere I can think of (Not the sharpest tack in the box) I stumbled onto this site and thought I would give it a try.
I am going to try to post a picture if I can (see above)



Thanks for any and all help,

Welcome to DTR.

I have basically any OEM part you could need to keep your 1st gen on the road.

In the picture you posted it looks like you have the wheel flairs and moulding in place.
Which piece do you need? Let me know and I can get you the prices and option I have.

For the passenger side? As Ollie said, looks like everything is complete in your photo.

BTW, for a dull tack you hit on a primo forum...

What I need is to replace 4 that's on Big Red or have someone tell me where I can get something to make them black again. All help is welcome.

DOH! I didn't think you could paint them. Guess that's what for thinking I am clearly not equipped for that.I didn't know paint would stay on them for long.
Here is what the truck looks like.


Thanks for your input,
Chuck

I painted mine too. But I really should find a way to fill and smooth the pitting and do a repaint to make it look really good and not like I just painted over rust.

Yeah if all you need is a cleaner look, not the actual flairs themselves.
Yes, cleaning them up and applying paint is the way to go.

I have a set of spray painted ones on my black crew cab. They have been on their for 10 years, with no problems.

I'd be tempted to lose the flares. They breed rust, and limit tire size a little.

Maybe it's because I somehow managed to have 1stgens for the past 10 years without plastic flares... idunno... lol

I have no interest in selling my '92 12V powered '89 Ramcharger.
It took a long time and lots of effort to get it just right. It is the best all around driving, steering, shifting, braking AND still super fun to drive SUV / truck I have ever owned.

I could get you all, or some, of the needed parts to build your own.
