There are two moldings on each wheel well.

One is called an "inner" and the other is called an "outer".

Which one do you need for your 77 Airstream?

Dave.

The outer tandem wheel well molding for a 77 trailer is part # 70348.

Wheel well trims are not available for anything older than a 1974 trailer.

That's our part number.

Our sale list does not list everything we stock.

Your options are "zero", except maybe from a salvage yard.

But, you can upgrade that trim with the 1974 and up style.

Is the 74 the same size or will I have to modify it? The ones on my trailer seem to be pre formed and are pretty hard to work with.
Thanks for your reply.

One other question Andy. Do you sell the mounting alu part for the front window of my 67 safari? I am missing the part that the widow attaches to. If it is available Is this extrusion available in random lengths? All of my other windows in the unit are perfect and work great.

In order to use the current style wheel well trims, the sheetmetal must be cut and trimmed, since the new style trim provides a larger wheel well cutout.

They are preformed and much stiffer, as there are 2 parts to each wheel well trim, an inner and outer, if you wish.

They are available for single, tandem and triple axle trailers.

Andy

The older window hinges have not been available for about 40 years. 1970 and up hinges are readily available, but those will not fit the 66, 67, 68 and 69 trailers.

Best bet is a salvage yard somewhere.

Wheel well moulding for 310 motorhome for Andy R

I'm looking for a wheel well moulding for my motorhome.
It is for the front door side wheel arch. I see that Andy can get these.
It is the part that is nearest to the wheel and looks like solid aluminum and not a U-channel.
Mine is a 1983 310.
Are you there Andy

Are there any photos of the two pieces of trim? I have two pieces in my garage that Airstream sent by mistake, when I ordered new wheel wells. They have been sitting there for 10 years. Supposedly for a 1978 Soverign. Both pieces look the same. I no longer have the 78 and gave the service manual with the trailer. I don't know if these are inside or outside. Anyone need in Michigan?
