Factory 69 rocker mouldings were two pieces. The uppers were aluminum and the large lowers were painted fiberglass. If you want the chrome look, just install the 70 style moulding that was one piece. If your original mouldings are in decent shape, you can paint them a shiney silver color and chrome the upper aluminum moulding.

hanta, I have not put 70-77 rocker mouldings on an earlier C-3, but have seen them on more than a few. It appears they are a direct bolt on and listed seperately for their unmistakeable different appearance and to be NCRS correct. Maybe, someone will chime in who has done this personally. I wouldn't want you to order them to find there is some modification necessary to make them work. Wait for a confirmation on this or a personal testamonial.

I have 70-77 mouldings on my 69. It was a bolt-on swap.
