Rocker molding I.D.

Post by 71Satellite98661 » Fri Apr 17, 2015 1:05 am

I am looking for help determining which rocker molding is correct for a 1971-74 Plymouth vs. Dodge B-body. Both were removed from my 71 Satellite Sebring for paint but are obviously different! Satellite/Road Runner? Charger?

My original rocker mouldings are 81-1/2" long. Not sure what that trim is off of - but I don't think its supposed to be on any 71-74 Plymouth B-body.

I forgot to mention that this car is a Sebring and not a SSP. 81-1/2" is perfect for one of these. The other with the curled ends looks like the NOS Charger moldings currently listed In about 4 or 5 ads on eBay right now.

It seems odd to me that Chrysler would offer two different rocker mouldings for the Satellite line. The shorter one is definitely for 71-73 Chargers, but the longer one eludes me so far. It is the right length, but I am guessing it belongs on a different car. Here is a picture of a Sebring with the wide rocker mouldings. Looks to be a restored car and not a survivor, so not 100% proof that the Sebrings got the wide mouldings also. I am still looking.........
