I bought the wheel moldings from LMC and they have this weird ridge and a black stripe on em. Not what I was expecting, I thought they'd be all-aluminum and didn't expect them to have this stripe on them. Did a quick google search for pics and looks like a lotta trucks have them with this black stripe, is that how all of them come? Person from LMC I spoke to on the phone sounded kinda clueless Thanks

That is exactly how they came from the factory. The plain chrome ones were aftermarket.

I ordered a full set from LMC and they were surprisingly almost an exact match for the OE set I took off.

Yes, that's what most of the trucks had for wheel arch moldings.

However, '77 trucks had yellow instead of black. And the bigger however- '89-'91 K5's and Suburbans had smooth wheel arch moldings. As far as I know, they are not reproduced.
