1981-87 Chrome body side molding

[nutandbolt]

Can anyone recommend a supplier for a precut chrome side molding kit or roll of molding for a 1987 Silverado long bed fleet side? The moldings currently on my truck are a couple years old and are already deteriorating. The thin chrome layer is separating and bubbling from the molding base. These moldings were on my truck when I bought it, so I don't know what supplier they came from. The quality is so poor that I do not want to go down that path again. I don't want to go through the work of replacing all this molding with poor quality material. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

LMC.

It's been 16 years and they still look new.

A trick I have used in the past for removing them quickly and painlessly is use a piece of high lb fishing line and used it to cut the tape/adhesive from the paint. No nicks, gouges and if done right, no clean up. Just wax and grease remover the area and install the new ones.

Another point I will add, by the pre cut ones. It makes it so much easier.

And finally, another vote for LMC

I just used a roll from LMC. It would have been nice to have pre-cut but it would also be nice to be a millionaire. The roll worked as did my patience. I'm also starting on my second million as I've given up on the first...

LMC makes precut kits too. My set is going on three years without issue, but full disclosure, mine stayes in the garage. Make sure you edge buy the sealant for the ends. Without it, water gets in and ruins the trim.
