Am I right to assume the side chrome mouldings are the same part number in other words there is no rt side or left side I only ask because in the middle of the chrome rail is a flat black painted in strip (actually in the center) of the rail
If anybody knows please help I want to send chrome out for restoration which reminds me any suggestions of this chrome rail restoration service you guys recommend?

I thing they’re the same last to right, but not sure about the curved piece at the front.
Not sure though.

Here are the P/Ns. The rear quarter and door trim are the same RH/LH. Front fender trim has different P/Ns but the package includes the "L" shaped front piece in addition to the straight piece.

Thank Joe & Rally -- Joe you've always been a wealth of knowledge isn't the straight trim even on front fender only called out two numbers because of the eyebrow THAT I understand the eyebrow has to be RT & LT because of the curve but it looks like all the straights are the same. My reason for the question is if you cut a piece out & looked at it is there a more pronounced say roll or bulge on the top of the rail compared to the bottom I know the painted flat black stripe going down the center is flat then the roll is finished on the bottom. So is top of the rail the same as the bottom -- could you turn the 180 deg and it would be the same ?
thanks

If anybody wants to chime in PLEASE I value All opinions.
Nothing surprises me with Oldsmobile and how things were put together (it doesn't mean it wasn't quality) sometimes during production assembly related to parts they did some funky things.

I understand the question. The parts book diagram doesn't have the answer because they only list the fender trim as a "package". I'll check my 64 Vista, which has that same front fender trim.
