anyone ever seen this window trim? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**jocko** · 08-17-2010, 06:36 PM

I've never seen stainless trim like this (the trim that wraps the driver door window - like where you would hang your elbow out while driving...) - has anyone else? I may just be missing something or never noticed it before. Or it may be custom. If it is, wow, what a great job.
Just curious if anyone was familiar or had seen it anywhere else other than on this sweet orange truck (that I've seen many pictures of on this site in the past).
Thanks!
Jocko

jonzcustomshop · 08-17-2010, 06:43 PM

it is the GMC custom cab door trim, and yes it does look very good when combined with the chevy piece.
it is aluminum

**jocko** · 08-17-2010, 07:04 PM

AH! Excellent - thanks Jonzcustomshop - I agree, it does look pretty good on a chev. Note to self for the next swap meet....

**aerotruk63** · 08-17-2010, 08:14 PM

Better yet is to find the 1960 molding that goes across the back of the cab joining the Custom cab plates together. It really finishes of the split between the two tone paint of the Cameo White top and base color.

**jocko** · 08-17-2010, 08:22 PM

MORE great gouge... Thanks. WIll ook for that too. Have often thought it needed a divider on the two tone, but wouldn't want to get too fancy now... (anyone got a pic of that trim??)
or maybe I would.
Thanks very much.

jonzcustomshop · 08-17-2010, 08:25 PM

heres some on a 62

**jocko** · 08-17-2010, 08:30 PM

Thanks! I agree, that really does look great. Wonder how come chevy never did that? Oh well, I guess they left the designer ideas to us hot rodders... I guess if it came that way, we would have never have discovered the cool idea to swap the GMC stuff (ok, more appropriately, YOU all would never have thought of it - I'd never have known what it was until you all told me).
So, thanks again!

Hey Jocko i don't think they made trim for the back of the cab. I made one out off the bottom trim off the bed. I measured the perfect lenght to go in between the two custom cab trim cut it with a heck saw drilled the holes on the cab and used the snap clips too put it on. It looks nice, divided the two colors. It look like factory made. Just an idea?

Hard to find, it's a semi circle like the tail of the cab plate.

jonzcustomshop · 08-18-2010, 09:25 PM

^ I wonder if that ever made production?
ever see any pics of it?
would be a cool find!

**Captainfab** · 08-19-2010, 12:17 AM

I've seen one truck with this trim before. So it does exist, but is very elusive.

Someone had the complete custom cab trim (side sails and rear connecting trim) on ebay I think, asking somewhere between 5-9 hundred or something. Should have posted the link but didn't think too mch of it other than it was way too much for me at the time

**aerotruk63** · 08-19-2010, 06:39 AM

C&C Autoranch in Texas had one many years ago, wanted $300 for the 3 pieces or $150 just for that rear molding across the back.

jonzcustomshop · 08-19-2010, 08:38 AM

found some pics...all I had to do was look in my 60-63 file!! jeeze...

**aerotruk63** · 08-19-2010, 03:34 PM

It's a slight detail but really finishes up the back of the cab..

and i have a 1960 with what i think is a factory 348 and every option you could get it seems. anyways it has that piece that connects both custom cab pieces. ill try and get a photo of it tomorow.

villa 66 · 08-20-2010, 07:29 PM

That is a nice truck, would have liked to see it brand new. I which i could find one like that with an original 348 ingine to buy. Does anyone know what the horse power on those engines was? just curious. It look nice in the picture fits the scenery, like a picture to hang in a wall. Thanks for posting.
