66 Upper side/rocker molding w/N14

[Keith B.]

I need a new pair of the above for a side pipe car. Is their a difference from the current repro units and the GM NOS parts, ie I hear the NOS upper moldings are the original GM design with the larger turned lip on the bottom side, not the smaller lip that has been produced for the past 10 years(repro).

Any thoughts here guys/gals?? Thanks.

I can't speak to the repro's, but even the GM service replacements suffered from deterioration of the tooling in the area at the points of the "spear" on the front to rear section of the moulding. Look carefully before purchasing an "NOS" set.

Bill's right.

Even the Chevrolet pieces are of poor quality. The holes at each end and the forming at the ends are bad. My chevy parts guy ordered me 3 pairs before we got a decent set. The repros I have seem are totally unacceptable.
