Title: molding clips
Post by: FORDNUT on 2015-08-03 07:16
The Custom 300 I recently bought has all the wrong molding clips and they do not hold the trim tight. When I had the last 300 I thought I remember seeing a chart that told what clip and how many go where. I can't seem to find one now. Am I having old man crs? I could have sworn somebody had kits.

Trim and sealant manual.  Front fenders are in the chassis assembly manual....go figure...

Thanks for the info. As luck would have it, I found both manuals for my 63 Galaxie but cannot locate the ones for the 57.

2-dr or 4 dr (70B) has 2 different moldings one has a check mark molding. Other has an wide insert.

                  (73B) has 2 different moldings same as above but for a 4-door.

Incorrect I believe....That difference is in the Custom(70A, 73A?)has the checkmark  vs Custom 300(70B, 73B?)which has the full length trim w/ insert.  The Custon 300 that he has has the insert. I don't know if his is a 2 dr (70B) or a 4 dr (73B?)
70=2 dr
73=4 dr
A=Custom
B=Custom 300
also 70D Business 2dr sedan..has same trim as 70A. There is no 70C.
