My '89 just had the wood trim on the door panels right below the window
line. They were in really bad shape. Like Todd said, with a little effort
they would refinish rather nicely. But I just want the truck intact and not
falling apart so I passed on refinishing and went straight to the local
plastics shop and had them cut identically sized pieces out of ABS plastics,
they even rounded the sides nicely. Painted them body color and fastened
from the back side with SS hardware. I already had some Eastnor Green in a
rattle can and the fixings were just what I scrounged from the garage. $20
for the plastic and < 1 hour and I was all done. Very utilitarian and
extremely durable.
Just my $0.02 worth.
