Hello,

I am trying to finish up my 72 El Camino and am having trouble finding bed moldings. I'm in need of both long bed moldings, one on each side, and the bed molding under the window. I've looked at the Ground UP catalog, and they don't list any El Camino moldings. I also can't seem to find them in the Year One catalog either. I also need the molding at top of the rear of the front fenders, the one that only a few inches long.

Can someone point me to a source?

Thanks,

I use NPD (http://www.npdlink.com) for my Elky parts. They have warehouses in different parts of the country and have always been great to me. Pricing isn't bad either.

National Parts Depot shows the bed moldings for that 72 in their catalog. Their number is 800-874-7595. Original Parts Group also shows the moldings. Their number is 800-243-8355. Some of the parts are GM and some are repops probably at both places. I bought all that stuff for my 72 about 10 years ago and at that time one of the front corner pieces was discontinued. Good Luck!

surprised that you haven't been to The El Camino Store (http://www.elcaminostore.com) they have a lot of unique elky items.

Thanks guys!

I gave The El Camino store a try and ordered the last of my trim pieces. Hopefully in about a week, the body of my 72 will be done, and I can drive my Elky again!

Thanks again,
