Fleetside trim
Guys/Gals,
Am in the market and starting a search for good side trim molding for my 66 Chev. fleetside long bed.... Any suggestions other then LMC or Brothers??? The trucks's not had trim installed prior. (not that that matters for anything...) Anyway... Any (helpful) suggestions welcome!! Thanks! Cww |

Re: Fleetside trim
ok, I dont mean to hijack, but did the Custom Cabs all come with trim? and were they all big back windows?

Re: Fleetside trim
It was all a la carte back then-the Custom Appearance option gave you side trim/chrome bumper/grille, the Custom Comfort option gave you cloth-covered full foam seat, sunshade on RH side, LH armrest, chrome dash knobs, other luxuries, etc.-but chrome bumpers could be optioned, side trim was optional, panaramic glass was an option, dealers could also add about anything-even do engine swaps.

Re: Fleetside trim
Mar-K looked to be cheaper on the trim package than Grumpys.

I think the only thing LMC sells that is made in the USA is the shipping and handling charges...

Re: Fleetside trim
Mar-K was a better price by a fair amount... AND not that much higher then LMC Much prefer to spend my $$$$ here..
They should work out cool I hope. Just need to get the truck to that phase.. |

Re: Fleetside trim
...just a suggestion for mounting all of it straight..."lazer level" you the kind you use to put shelving up straight...jack your truck level put your sighter on a chair or stool, set your line and use tape "masking" to get your line perfict...worked for me...
