All-Fit Automotive Replacement SB Square Body Side Molding (2.25 in)

Our review of the All-Fit Automotive Replacement SB side molding finds it best suited for owners restoring or preserving 1973-1987 Square Body Chevy and GMC trucks who want a clean OEM-style look with durable protection. The biggest reason to consider this molding is its combination of a purpose-designed profile for C/K and Suburban models and a full 26 ft length that covers long side panels without seams. Installation is straightforward thanks to the included high-strength 3M car tape, making it an attractive option for DIY installers who want a chrome finish that helps prevent door dings and scratches.

Key Features

• Precision fit: Designed specifically for 1973-1987 Chevy C10/K10 series and Suburban trucks so the molding follows factory body lines for an OEM-style finish.
• Chrome finish: Polished stainless steel appearance enhances the truck's look while providing a hard surface that guards against minor dings and door-edge damage.
• 26 ft length: A generous continuous length lets users cover entire side panels and cut to size for a seamless installation across long beds and cab sections.
• 3M adhesive backing: High-strength 3M car tape is supplied so the molding adheres without drilling, simplifying fitment and reducing permanent modifications.
• Made in the USA: Domestic manufacture offers consistent build quality and materials expected from OEM-grade trim replacements.

Who It's For

This molding is aimed at owners of classic Square Body Chevy and GMC pickups and Suburbans from 1973 through 1987 who want to restore or protect original body styling without professional bodywork. It fits a range of C and K series trucks, making it useful for full restorations or patching worn or missing trim.

It is less appropriate for vehicles outside the listed model years or for buyers who need exact pre-formed pieces for complex door contours; those users should seek vehicle-specific pre-bent sets or professional fabrication. Also, if someone prefers mechanical fasteners over adhesive, this product's tape-first installation may not match their preference.
