I think we got ours from Year One.  I believe all the repros are the same and will require a little manipulation, but work.

   :iagree:  :iagree:  :iagree:

 Some of the screw holes aren't dead on, but you can manage it. I think I had to enlarge a couple, but that wasn't too bad. The repro's do look like the originals otherwise. They are MUCH cheaper than the originals too. I always see the complete original sets go for $500 or more on E-Bay.  :22yikes:

YO  :thumbsup: You have to remember it isn't always the repro parts fault, Ma Mopar were pretty rough at putting these cars together (just study the interior) so the holes from factory weren't set bang on every model every time.

I've had just as much trouble putting on originals as I have had with aftermarket moldings.

FWIW the repos are differenr at the bottom, the originals go all the way to the end of the wheel well lip, the repos stop abruptly about 1.5" short...Other then that they are workable, anymore while doing bodywork I tend to weld up the original holes so they don't interfer with the new ones I know I'll be drilling.. :2cents:

I got the repros from YO.  They needed alot of cutting/slotting on the inside flange so I could bend them to fit.  They looked good in the end.
