Default Question about body side molding

I have an '89 D100. It is missing the rear lower body side molding (the one between the rear wheel and bumper). I know some of the Ramcharger side moldings are the same but read somewhere that this particular piece is different. Can anyone verify this? I find lots listed for the Ramcharger but not the trucks. Pic below for reference.

I can't speak to your question but was wondering about your paint color? Thinking of something similar that two tone with original brown walnut. Have you painted yours? Could you share more pics? inside and out?

It was painted about fifteen years ago. It was originally a darker brown, guessing the color you mentioned. You can see it on the inside floors. (I did find the side moulding piece I needed, btw)

Original color on the floor.

You can see the original color on the jamb and current shade on the rocker panel in this pic.

That piece of paper is the factory build sheet. See if you can remove it without damage. Yours luckily has it, My 78 all i could find was a fragment of it. If you cant find the molding used look for a nos piece. 4411582-3 is the factory #.

I tried to peel it off but it is stuck. I did get good pics of it.

Thanks for the extra pic. Especially the sun and shade pic. Glad you found your piece of trim. I, also had just remnants of the build sheet under the carpet. Looks like our trucks are identical. I've got it 70% prepped for paint. I am having trouble getting my instrument panel to work. Thinking there are some shorts somewhere.
