2 tone upper moldings - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Rspaeth · 04-25-2016, 10:11 PM

Hey everyone, was wondering if anyone knows about upper moldings for a k5? With 2 tone paint (white in the middle) the molding would cover up the paint line on the top. Everyone re-creates the lower molding but I can't find the upper. Anyone know where to find? Maybe it's the same as a c-10 short bed? Appreciate any help..

The factory never offered upper trim on a Blazer, that's why you can't find it. Truck pieces will work on the doors and front fenders, but you will have to cut down a bedside piece for the quarter panels. Should be pretty easy since the factory used a small piece on the end that you can carefully remove, cut the long piece to length and then put back together.

Cool, thanks for the info. Do these double stick or use the clips that require holes?

You can do either. Mar-K.com has both installation kits.
