Upper Body Molding Set

Yes, "H" chrome. Thanks for the price reference because the guy asking is a bit old school and is the type that thinks almost everything is overpriced these days. Full sets are rare, you can build sets from pieces here and there, but they are getting harder to come by.

On a related matter, has anyone ever added this chrome to a 65 that didn't come with it originally?

Agreed. ;D

Id think the hard part would be finding the right clips if you were going to add it.

That's the great thing about personal taste, they are all different.

My first 65 has the "H" chrome and I think it looks great, especially on a car that has had all the chrome redone, very classy. I’m seriously considering adding it to my 442 vert when I repaint the car someday. I think the “H” chrome looks especially good on a vert body. Besides, one of the reasons I prefer 65's is that they have the most chrome. Lots of chrome and big V8's is what I like! But again, it’s all in personal taste. ;D

Finding the right clips are not a problem, there are several places that carry them. And since the same size molding was used on just about every GM from probably 1960 to 1973 they will be available forever. There is nothing special about the clips, the majority of them are the small ½" push on plastic retainers. The end pieces with the studs are also very common and available as well.

The hard part would be getting the measurements correct and lining up all the studs. A stud welder would make it a lot easier, however, the replacement screw in type of studs will work. But it would be a fair amount of work screwing in all those studs.

Thanks,

If someone has a for sure part number and vendor I would appreciate it. I will be putting this trim back on my car and had a bag of clips that I have since lost. I would like to buy the right clip the first time.
