Chrome arch Trim

[Matt Wood]

Hi all! Hope you all had a nice Christmas and a happy new year!

Its been a while but im back on the restoration train on my bronco!

Long story short I want to replace my chrome trim that sits on the lip of the arches.

What is the difference between each side? Or front and back? Could i get 2 left rears and put one on the rear right? Or are they different shapes? I understand they have different part numbers but from a manufacturing perspective I'd think it would have been easier to produce the same part and give it 2 different numbers?

Any input would be great!

Thanks

Matt

 they are position specific! simple as that. i too like to use them and get every original i can find, which is not that often

Yes, as Matt said they are location-specific.  I really like the looks of them, but good ones are hard to find from what I've seen.

Excellent price for the fronts.

David - You are right!

Matt - If you don't want those I think I'll buy them!

Passenger side, I believe.

You are on a roll, David!  

[1986F150Six]

It is a gift!

Good price! Nice find!

[Matt Wood]

Wow thanks everyone!

I actually was able to find them all NOS on ebay and have purchased them all!

I also found the ones you linked and am now the owner of them 😂

Fingers crossed they all come in good condition!

[Matt Wood]

Sorry Gary! Looks like I beat you to it! I had those in my basket before I made the post 😂

The lower one of the two looks a little squashed but only time will tell.

They're going to my uncles place in CT as I wouldn't dare send such rare items via the post man 😂

I'll be heading over later in the year to collect!

No prob!  They were just too cheap to pass up.

[Matt Wood]

David, having looked at the ebay link closely i don't think it is for a bullnose! I think its for a brick or aero.... it doesn't have the concave shape id expect from the 80 - 86 ones and the part number is different!

Just a thought in case anyone stumbles across this thread

I need to replace one of mine, front left I think. NPD and LMC sell these, wondering if the quality is worth the $32 asking price. Anyone go with these aftermarket things?

 i have used them. the ones from npd. they look very good. fit fairly well. if anything, they seem to be a bit long. and the edges are sharp. handle with care.

[Matt Wood]

I've deleted my comment, having not actually had them i don't feel i should have a say in their quality!

Buyer beware? Thank you.
