The quality of the repros leaves something to be desired, however. I certainly prefer to use original GM whenever possible, even though the cost is substantially higher and they're more difficult to locate. BTW, the '68 SS396 did not have w/o moldings installed at the factory. Chuck - To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The repros may be anodized aluminum. I was told that the OEM ones are stainless steel. When I get the OE ones in here, I never take them out of the GM shrink-wrap, so I never really get a good look at them.

RE: [Chevelle-List] 1968 SS wheel well moldings?
The OEM wheel well moldings are stainless steel. The repros are plated tin. They are definitely softer than the OEM moldings. No body seems to be repro-ing short wheel moldings for the 68 SS.

That's entirely possible I guess that Canadian built Chevelles might have more models. The more I think about, they probably do.

Re: [Chevelle-List] 1968 SS wheel well moldings?
John, It appears as though the wheel open moldings are the same front or back. The only difference being which side of the vehicle, left or right. Sounds strange, but that is what I gathered from my GM parts manuals (8.132). So, if the guy has an '68 SS Chevelle then he would need: (2) 3920153 L.H. (2) 3920154 R.H. Kent '68 Malibu ZZ502/502 :) ACES #5102 Thanks Kent. That's awesome. Are those numbers for the front or rear? John -Original Message- John, According to my factory assembly manual for 1968 Chevelle and El Camino, there are wheel well moldings for the 1968 Chevelles. They appear to "end" right at the point of intersection with the moldings running down the sides. Making them shorter than the 1969 Chevelle wheel house moldings. I believe they (the '68 moldings) are a one year only part. Here are the numbers listed in the assembly manual: 3920149-50 Molding L. & R.H. 13735-45 3920153-4 Molding L. & R.H. 13500-600 13837-67-80 Hope this helps. Kent '68 Malibu ZZ502/502 :) ACES #5102 I just had a request from a guy looking for wheel well moldings for a 1968 SS Chevelle. He says that the SS moldings are shorter than the non-SS, and that they only go as far down as the side body moldings. Well, I'm certainly not an expert on the 68 SS, but I've never heard of any SS-only wheel well moldings for that year. If anybody has a part number for such moldings, or can confirm or deny their existence, I would appreciate it.

Re: [Chevelle-List] 1968 SS wheel well moldings?
John, I was told recently by a friend of mine that the '68 SS did NOT come with the chrome wheel moldings. Guys like to put them on for the look... maybe they cut them off from a '69. In '69 they did come with the moldings. Maybe that's why there is no listing for them.
