SBRMD Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Painting a 1971 Sedan and have found that my munched molding is beyond help.Anybody have/know of a straight one?I believe I've got the right interchange models above; the '73 won't work because it comes up the door. This one covers the rocker only.Thanks in advance,Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zack Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 DO YOU HAVE A PARTS NUMBER? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Phillips Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 If you will give me the measurements, I will check the 2 or 3 that I have stored in my garage. Cannot recall what they came off of, but they might be what you need.Pete Phillips, BCA #7338pphillips922@earthlink.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBRMD Posted May 17, 2007 Author Share Posted May 17, 2007 I don't have a part number, but it measures 87 3/8"Thanks in advance for looking, Pete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Phillips Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Those are some LONG rocker mouldings. The pair I have measures 76-1/2 inches long. I have a third one that is 75 inches long. Sorry for the false hope. Now I'm scratching my head, wondering what these came off of?Pete Phillips, BCA #7338 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBRMD Posted May 17, 2007 Author Share Posted May 17, 2007 Well, the 87's are for a car with a 124" wheelbase. Sounds like yours are for an intermediate; maybe a 112" wheelbase car, or a 115", with variation for wheel well diameters.Thanks anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kazoojerry Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 I have a '72 Centurion convertible and bought one some time ago, thinking it was for the driver's side. Turns out it is for the pass side. I'll measure it in the a.m. I'll be back on and let you know. It won't be cheap, since it is NOS and in the GM box. I paid highly for it, and have to look to see just what I did pay.

SBRMD Posted August 8, 2007 Author Share Posted August 8, 2007 Thanks for the response, KJ. Happy to hear you may have the part.To make sure we're talking about the same thing, this would be the type that covers only the rocker and does not mate with pieces that continue up the door. I think that was possible, ie there is also that possible configuration, on the '72.Please contact me when you can at SBRMD@AOL.COMThanks again in advance,Steve.

kazoojerry Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Steve,I have a '72 Centurion convertible, and I have an NOS passenger side SS molding - bought it thinking it was driver's side. It has the original packaging and mounting hardware and screws - direct from GM. Just looked at it and it is the right length. Does have minor scratches which could easily be polished out. I paid dearly for it and should keep it, but I drive the car carefully and infrequently. Let me know if you still need it.Kazoojerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBRMD Posted August 19, 2007 Author Share Posted August 19, 2007 Thanks for e-mailing, Jerry.Too bad that's the wider one, would definitely have been interested.Still looking. Anybody out there with a lead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imported_75RivGS Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 was wondering: do those rocker panel moldings only interchange with LeSabre and Centurion? Just bought a NOS one for my 72 Wagon (G.M. PART # 1394819, GROUP # 8.304....91 1/2 inches in length)and still looking for the passenger side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBRMD Posted December 9, 2007 Author Share Posted December 9, 2007 I believe the '72 Estate Wagon is on the Electra wheelbase, should maybe interchange with 1971-76 Electra, but not LeSabre/Centurion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imported_75RivGS Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Isn´t an Estate Wagon a B-body? I thought Wagons shared some Electra and some Lesabre/Centurion parts/moldings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imported_75RivGS Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 According to the part number this should be exactly what you're looking for:NOS GENUINE GM RIGHT HAND STAINLESS ROCKER PANEL MOULDING PART#1394808 GROUP#8.304.

Pete Phillips Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 I have several NOS rocker panel mouldings for these 1971-72 full sized Buicks, but they are not all marked, and there are a few light scratches from handling. E-mail me if there is any interest, and I'll take a closer look to see. None over $35, plus shipping, which would be high due to the length.I also have an NOS rear bumper for a 1971 or 1972 full sized Buick wagon.Pete Phillips, BCA #7338pphillips922@earthlink.netSherman, Texas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBRMD Posted September 14, 2008 Author Share Posted September 14, 2008 I finally found one that worked for my '71. Good luck to all o/w. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
