Do 71-74 B bodies have a SS roof rail "gutter" like E bodies?

Can't find any good pictures online to confirm.

Hey Jim
Yes they have drip rails with moldings but not like the E body ones.
As you know E body drip rail moldings actually go under the roof rail channel.
The B body ones don't. They have a thin molding that snaps over the drip rail itself. No seals. Same as the A body and earlier B's
I'll see if I have any pics.

Thanks guys!

Thanks Mark! I always thought 71-4 B bodies have the SS drip rail trim that gets sandwiched between the roof and the galvanized weatherstrip channel like E bodies.

Thanks for clearing that up!

PS We miss you at Carlisle!

There are also different versions, and part numbers, of these roof rail mouldings for with and without vinyl roof.
