Look up members in your area that have your car. I would make a trip over and check out their car. Good luck.

Hi Joe: The molding clip holes were all there; I just centered both sides to the clip holes. We have a brand new set of moldings, The Filling Station clips did not fit the old or new moldings; too wide. JIM

Hi Mike: There are no VCCA members that I know of in Montana. This 34 is the only one registered in Montana, Wyoming, the Dakotas and Idaho. What I did was center the moldings on the molding holes. Worked great; both sides measure the same distance from ft./rear fenders. Thank you for trying to help...JIM

The original 1934 running board mouldings came in a right and a left. The front of the moulding tapered up to a point in the front and was copped off almost square in the rear. The 1935 and 1936 had tapered ends at both the front and the rear. The 1937-1938 came to an equal point at the front and rear. Chevrolet sold that version for replacement on 1934-1936 cars after 1937.
