Restoring Trim: How To Replace Your '87-'91 Ford Truck Or Bronco Side Body Molding

The 8th-gen Ford F-Series (F-150, F-250 and F-350) - lovingly called the "Bricknose" in many circles - bridged the gap between classic styling and modern aerodynamics. And let’s not forget its SUV sibling: the Ford Bronco. With the recent release of the 6th-gen Bronco, vintage Bronco values have skyrocketed. Blue Oval fans are clamoring to restore their 1987-1991 Broncos to their former glory and show off the old-school and new-school pair. Getting the two-tone paint lines and thick side moldings right is crucial.

If your Bricknose is missing its side molding, the body lines just look empty. Bring back that beefy, rugged, '80s charm with our '87-'91 Ford Replacement Body Side Molding.

Where Can I Find Classic Truck Trim And Molding?

Spend five minutes chatting with Ford fans working on restoration and you’re guaranteed to hear the same questions:

  • "Who makes a replacement side molding that actually looks OEM?"
  • "How do I protect my fresh paint from door dings without ruining the look?"
  • "Where can I find decent replacement side trim for my old rig?"

The harsh reality is that after 30 to 50 years of baking in the sun and surviving the elements, most factory moldings are chalky, cracked, or completely M.I.A. And once that trim falls off, your doors are vulnerable to dings and more.

Don't get tricked into spending several hundred (or more) on pre-cut kits or new-old-stock (NOS) replacement trim and moldings. The fit of pre-cuts is a gamble, and if fasteners are involved, they're probably not included. NOS is still an old product, meaning it has suffered the same aging and may be as brittle as your broken trim.

Our replacement molding is the answer. It brings back that crisp, finished, factory-correct profile you’ve been chasing. You'll get a heavy-duty, modern layer of protection for your classic's metal body panels - and installing it is a breeze - no drilling needed.

How To Install F-Series Or Bronco Body Side Molding

1. Surface Preparation

A clean surface is key. Use a mixture of isopropyl alcohol and water to remove all wax, grease, and road grime from the installation area. Proper surface preparation is 90% of the job; a clean door ensures the adhesive molding becomes a seamless part of your vehicle.

2. Alignment and Marking

Don't guess on the alignment. Use painter's tape to create a straight line across your doors. This acts as a guide to ensure your adhesive car door protector is perfectly level from front to back.

3. Application

Start with a small section - peel back the adhesive backing. Press the molding firmly against the door, following your tape line. Continue peeling and pressing until the strip is fully applied.
