side moulding, Mar-K vs. ClassicParts.com
I'm looking at buying a 67-68 side moulding kit. The price deference between Mar-K and Classic Parts is $371.55 before shipping.
Does anyone have experience with these two trim packages? If they are both polished aluminum, I can't imagine the material being much different. If it were chrome I realize chrome can be very different. The next question is, how well does it fit? Thanks. |

I'm looking at them also . Mar-K stuff is top notch but their expensive and so is their shipping costs . They charged me $58.00 to ship a few cross sills and I hate their web site

Re: side moulding, Mar-K vs. ClassicParts.com
I have decided to go against the rules and get some good undented pieces. For the pieces I cannot get I will hammer and dolly them back into shape.
I want my truck to still look like a truck, with aging but up to par. For me too much aftermarket shiny stuff takes away from the look unless I am doing a full resto. Its a truck, I want it to have character, be clean and trouble free. Someone told me even the top of the line stuff leaves something to be desired. He showed me what he was talking about. It did not look right on his build. I am sure it could have been modified or sent back but for what you pay, to me, it had better be damn perfect or better. |

Re: side moulding, Mar-K vs. ClassicParts.com
I have a box of side molding from Mar-K here waiting to be put on after I get the truck back from paint (almost 9 months now, but who's counting). I can snap some pics of the molding if that helps. Let me know....

Re: side moulding, Mar-K vs. ClassicParts.com
I have mar-k stuff for my tailgate in the box yet.
Their shipping was a painful experience. Order the stuff online then get a phone call the next morning, Oh were sorry the shipping is this much more. Hope the juice was worth the squeeze.

Re: side moulding, Mar-K vs. ClassicParts.com
I ordered my 67-69 Mar-K trim at the end of may when they were having a sale...I got 20% off because I ordered some other things and my order was over $1000 made the base price of the trim kit $777.20 the shipping was high in my opinion since I'm not that far from Oklahoma city and shipping was $127 however I did get bed strips and tailgate trim and some bolts also...
