Please click the ASK SELLER A QUESTION link if you have any questions or would like additional information. Dodge Trim or Plymouth Trim? As you will see from the photos, when this truck was restored the Dodge front stainless trim and hubcaps were applied because the Plymouth trim was not being reproduced. Over the time I have owned this truck I did locate a complete Plymouth nose assembly with excellent trim (very rare and hard to find). This plymouth nose assembly is included in the sale of this truck. I had contemplated switching the trim but the Dodge trim looks so nice I did not have the heart to change it. In the photos below I show the plymouth nose and trim that comes with the truck. In that photo I show just the primary front nose section. I do have the complete plymouth nose section including the front (shown) and the lower side pieces (not shown).
