Where to buy quality trim? Install?

[MDFarms]

Looking to possibly two tone my 1972 Chevrolet SB build but regardless of whether I two tone or go with white roof and all blue I think I still will want at least lower trim.

Question:
Who has best quality trim that fastens like factory?

With Medium blue Wood grain or black center?

Install how many holes will have to be drilled?


I see on Brothers video he starts with doors and works from there, any secrets to help the process? Anyone make a paper template for drilling holes?

Thanks in advance

I have not used any but if the trim sold by Mar K in Oklahoma fits as well as their bed parts I’d say give them a look.

Mar K is the best. Here is a tip, call brothers and confirm that the trim they sell still comes from Mar K. Then wait for a 20% sale usually happens around a holiday. When I bought mine 8 years ago this is what I did. Your going to be spending over a thousand dollars, for both upper and lower trim. With the holiday discount code it was cheaper then buying directly from Mar K, and everything was just drop shipped from Mar K to my house. As for the hole locations they are called out in the assembly manual. Do a search on the site. Should be a PDF out there.

You can also get it from Summit. Save on shipping that way. If you are military or a retiree, Summit offers military discount. But as others have said. MAR-K Is the way to go. To get a complete set upper and lower long bed was like $160.

Brothers will pull a bait and switch on you. Several years back I called them to confirm I would be getting Mar-K trim. They assured me I would. I didn’t. Got a refund and bought direct. Just a heads up.

Seems like Mar-k it will be!

I know ts personal preference but whats peoples thoughts on paint scheme?

I origionally thinking white roof and rest blue with or woithout upper and lower trim?

Then I have started to consider white roof blue/white/blue?

The ladder of two options above would give me option after time if needed would allow me for repainting lower blue if stone chips occured.


Thanks in advance

This is when I first got it. The new trim is still waiting to be installed.

Page seven this thread shows where to drill, and where not to as well The measurements are good but consider it a guide for a dry run. The lower sides are real easy, the moldings position 4/10" below the body line. Side moldings take a hole on each end with 3M tape clips in-between, though the upper fender moldings take a hole for each clip.

Depends on the clips you get too.
