1971 GTX Rocker Moulding ?

[crahill39]

Looking to find out where I can get these and about how much I will need to save for a set in fair to good shape?

Thanks,

Craig

Thanks for the reply, that's what I was afraid of. I had a set, but got ripped off while I was out of town.

I got a set for my 1969 Coronet R/T that was reproduced by a company. I want to think it was Metro Parts or something like that name.

I looked up extruded aluminum shapes and was amazed at the number of different ones. You would think it would be possible to reproduce the mouldings.

Buymetroparts.com in Georgia had my rocker panels in polished extruded aluminum.

Good luck with finding these moldings and you better have a thick wallet. I'm in need of wheel lip moldings for my '71. I know they're re-popped but don't know about the fitment of them and usually on back order. Even those are spendy

I have a set off of a 71+. It had the premium interior package. One is good other is bent. They are the wide flat type.

Thanks for the offer. I am making this GTX a pro-tour style resto, so I may just skip the moulding altogether and add some form of protection in the paint, much like they do on new cars these days for the rocker area.

That's a shame that your moldings "walked". They looked to be really nice ones in the Ebay ad from a while back. Were they stolen from your home or the body shop? IMO, they really set the look of a '71 GTX. They make the car appear to be more slender and just look plain cool.

.......... They make the car appear to be more slender and just look plain cool.

I agree, the rocker moldings on a 71 GTX changes the whole look of the side view of the car. They are very hard to find, but you will be glad you shelled out the added coin in the long run.

Out of my own shop out in the country along with a few other tools and things. Pretty common out here and lesson learned to keep the dogs out when I am gone.

Ok, but do your homework as in the fit and finish of them. Here is a link to other so called repopped or "OE correct" when it comes to after market parts https://www.forbbodiesonly.com/moparforum/threads/pos-aftermarket-part.150007/#post-910935504, just saying. No, I'm no bashing your product in any way or that you want to make money. It just gets frustrating that parts don't fit, finish is off, foreign made, etc. Then the consumer has to spend more money just to send it back.

if they are the ones being done by Metro
check them over really good for sure
as they do not have the greatest rep for having the most accurate parts..
