My friend has a 68 Barracuda with those "gills" but the rocker molding is as wide as the gill? Did they make 2 different versions???

 

[mcpherson57]

Not that I am aware of that looks like a custom job. Maybe not the rocker was painted silver I think. From what I have learned the rocker below the spear was painted silver or some sort of argent color. I think that's why the trim looks wider. The trim spear is narrow and fits the contour and shape of the gill tab as you can see in my photos.

 

[RON REAGLE]

His are definitely NOT custom or painted.

My thinking is the gill is correct but not for the rocker moldings shown? The molding doesn't "fit" the contour of the gill very well ? I knw we're not supposed to comment on for sale ads just trying to clear up what you have there.

They made 3 or 4 different ones for the 68 but no wide one. Just different lengths and with or without gills.

That is a wide one in the brochure

That is not a wide one. That is the silver paint under the skinny molding. I have the order books. I will look again. Just to make sure.

 

[RON REAGLE]

Absolutely NOT I saw the car in person AND took the picture. The molding is as wide as the gill? Look at my picture?

I will not say no way because I learned new things.
I will say the picture of the car above is not a full molding

 

[davescuda]

Pictures I have ver seen the white car molding
The couple looks like it may be a full wide molding but I like to see it in a real picture.
The convertible is a common one.
The car above.
I do know they make the spares in different lengths. I seen the spare go all the way into the wheel well and the wheel well molding stop on top of it. Also seen shorter spares and the front molding continue to the bottom

you can see forward to where the front fender lip molding edge meets right on the silver paint.

If it were molding you wouldn’t see the edge and join line to the silver.

the moldings for sale are the real deal.

I STAND CORRECTED (SORRY) Just trying to learn and found out his are the spears with argent silver PAINTED below.
