The sides of my truck are pretty plain, and I was thinking that a black body side molding, similar to what my Dodge had would look good and add some protection against parking lot idiots.

Anybody add molding on the doors and/or sides of the bed?

 

Someone did add it and it looked pretty good, we definitly need some protecton on the doors.

 

fx4andharley added body side molding to his truck.

Check out his gallery

For $25 I got got some 3/4" wide x 1/2" thick stuff from a body shop supply. I mounted it just above the horizontal channel on the door because it was not thick enough to put in the channel ant have it stick out beyond that deep channel. The ridge just above the channel is the highest spot on the door and that is where you will get the dings. Looks like a thick black line and looks good to me. Over 2 years and holding fine with no dings. Search this site - others have found better looking and wider moldings and have posted posted real good pictures. I probably would have used the same type if I had known their source.

 

Does anyone know where he got it from?

 

One of his pics says it it Cowles molding. Their site says it is available at Pepboys.

 

Thank you sir

 

I added a Cowles body side molding kit to my rig. ( see gallery )



I got it at autoextras.com ( or something like that )

 

I have some pictures of the molding that I put on my 2004 Super Crew. Look on pages 3 & 4 of this LINK

 

Check out sportwing.com. You can order it to match the exact color of your truck. IT is stuck on with 3M adheive tape. Looks pretty slick when installed.

 

Thats where mine came from. Very easy intallation!!!
