So the answer is, yes.  | | | | | Joined: Mar 2001 Posts: 1,181 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2001 Posts: 1,181 | There are a few other do-dad's that go along on a custom option. The rear cab badges, the chrome trim around the windows, fancy knobs, etc.
I'm trying and wanting to make my GMC a true Custom package and the last things I need are the chrome trim around the cab and side strips, 100% authentic side molding strips are not re-popped, but 95% correct Chevy strips are close enough to not argue over and I can use those if needed.
The though of drilling holes in the boby after all the work thas been done, that has been what has held me up from doing a 100% complete package. But lets face it, very few folks will understand that the trim package is not complete.
And for the one that do, all I can say is
IT'S MY TRUCK, Have a nice day! | | | | | Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 54 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 54 | There was a GMC at DVAP.com with the triangular shaped mouldings running from front to back both sides. It's been a few years since I was there. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2000 Posts: 800 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2000 Posts: 800 | I bagged a full set from a guy who was parting out a longbed GMC from California. He was trying to sell the whole truck, but when I offered him about half of his price just for the trim, he agreed to take it off and ship it. It was in phenomenal condition. My truck is a shortbed so the rear strips I had shortened and tig welded up the ends again. They came out well.
Before I found them, i had thoughts of taking some of the later Chevy trim and having it altered to recreate the GMC 60/61 trim. It's doable, for enough money and effort. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 52 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 52 | I'm happy my truck was born with all of those goodies. | | |
