Title: Difference between wagon wheel well moldings and sedan/HB wheel well moldings?
Post by: TIGGER on February 25, 2007, 10:53:50 PM
I was going thru my stash wheel well moldings today and ran across some rear moldings but I am having a hard time figuring out if they are wagon moldings or sedan moldings. I even tried to fit them to each body style, without mounting them it is kind of hard to tell?  Is there an easy way to tell?

First, if they are the wide ones for a sedan/H-B, I'll take them.

Second, there are the narrow ones and wide ones; all I know about is the wide ones.

There are 2 different ones used for all 4 corners for different years and models. All the fronts are the same until 79/80, these look like the pre-79's exept the forward part is longer (I will look to see for an easy way to to tell). Ther rears are all the same for H/B's and sedans, but he wagon ones are longer in the rear part (can be ID-ed by the lower rear mount hole being a couple of inches above the bottom of the trim where the h-b/sedan ones have the hole closer).

Photos are of the wide style ones.

One photo shows the lower rear edges of a wagon and a non-wagon right rear wide molding; the one to the left is the wagon one. The other shows two left fronts; the one in the wrapper is a 79/80.

Thanks Bill that is what I needed to know.  I figured out the difference between the front and 79-80 but was having a hard time finding out what the difference is between the sedan/HB and wagon rears.
