Is the wheel lip molding the same for all B-Body's? I have a 1969 dodge superbee that I'm redoing and we lost/missed placed the wheel lip molding. Will I need to buy 1968-70 dodge coronet wheel lip molding or can I buy any 1968-70 B-Body wheel lip molding? Will a 1968-70 dodge charger fit it?

The B-Body Dodge wheel lip moldings are different from the Plymouth cars. They won't interchange with 1970 model cars either. For a 1969 year Dodge Super Bee, you have to get the ones specific for '68-'69, and you need to make sure they're the longer ones - the ones that go below the lower crease line, because they also made shorter ones for the Coronet 500s that ended at the crease and transitioned into the additional moldings running along that lower crease.

What kind of car are you doing - driver or concours resto?

And Plymouth had 2 versions for B Body cars. Road Runner was a plain anodized molding while GTX got a shinny polished version.for 68. 69 GTX had the short molding Road Runner had the full wheel molding.

ZERO - NO wheel lip mouldings on any '68-'70 Road Runners.
There are some differences in the various '68-'70 Sport Satellite vs. GTX mouldings.
