The only wheel arch moldings I can find seem to be for the fleetside. Has anyone found moldings for the stepsides, or are they really the same?

From my findings, the mouldings were never used on stepsides. But I have seen them installed on restored trucks and duallies too, supposedly they fit fine with minor tweaking at the most.

OK, thanks. I guess for 13 bucks a piece I should just try it. I've seen lots of pictures showing that others have done it.

This is correct.

Wheel opening moldings were not available from the factory on stepsides.

But - as you say - apparently either the fronts or the fleetside rear moldings can be made to fit.
