Dear Board,


Can someone please tell me where to find a new wood trim set for my 81 300 SD. I am in the process of restoration, and the current trim is cracked and chipped in a couple of places.

Thanks,
Skoob

Try sending them to Heritage Woodworks.

They have a solid reputation for restoring these trim pieces. Cheers, Andrew Seidel.

Also, Drew (the owner) has lots of "pre-owned" spare wood pieces if some of your pieces are not serviceable. Also, important to note: I'm pretty sure that you can order new old stock (NOS) on a lot of those pieces. If not, I know that there are some independents that have some NOS laying around . . .

I was told some years ago by someone who may have been smoking the wrong stuff that the factory keeps an inventory of wood used for the trim. When trim on a car needs replacing, the factory can provide replacement wood. Anyone know anything about this? I find it hard to believe, but my ears were not deceiving me.
