I believe the side moldings are also available from: www.gmpartsdirect.com as well. Logic would lead you to think that, but I've looked and was only able to find molding for either a standard or extended cab there. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong spot, if you can direct me I would appreciate it. Som...

LMC Truck - ZR5 Fender Flares Etc.

Me being new, I'd bet I'm the only one who didn't know about this source, but......I was seeking a source for the factory body side molding for a CC, and found this. I know I've read where some have questioned about a source for flares etc.. These guys are pricey, but it looks like they might have t...

Thank you HJ, much appreciated. I've not taken any action yet, but I will soon to see what I can find in my area. There doesn't seem to be many active members near me. If I am fortunate enough to uncover more than I myself can use, I will secure them and post, keeping my fellow members in mind.

Does anyone know a paint code for the fender flares on a ZR5? Found the code for the body of the truck, but the flares etc. are a heavy metallic grey of some sort and I'm not finding any sort of code for it.

Good logic and much appreciated. A woman that I've been seeing is about to trade a '98 Blazer in on a Buick, not what I'd deem a pretty good trade. Maybe I should talk her into letting me swipe hers before she trades it in!

Skid plate applications

I've seen in a few posts that many Blazers and non-CC S10's came with steel or aluminum skid plates standard. Seems they differ slightly from model to model and maybe year to year. Can anyone point me to a thread that actually runs down the years, models, etc. that would adapt, as close to a factory...

Anyone using one of these boxes?

In my '98 extended cab I used a 46" WeatherGuard chest box. It fit nicely ahead of the wells and worked like a water tight trunk for groceries and everything. I miss it. With the bed on the CC, it will obviously not work, so I've been searching for an alternative. the way I fastened it was a half in...
