Rub Rail aka Body Trim aka ???

'73 Airstream missing some trim - especially the 'riser' that takes the trim from 2" to 1" over the wheel well.
1" strip - Just enough for 1 wheel well 17.25"
2" strip - just enough for the door base 27.75"
Riser - rear one on teh left side looking from the back

Anybody have old stuff around that I buy from them ? (or know where)

Thanks

Steve

PS Does anyone know if these were painted, trimmed or left bare. I am hearing that they were left bare.

Try Colaws in MS. They are a junkyard with several wrecked Airstreams.

The center of the rub rails were either painted or sticky-striped medium blue.

Yep. I restored mine using Rustoleum Sail Blue spray paint. Lots of masking but it looks great.
