Product Description
Ford F-150 Regular Cab, 6.5' Bed, No Flares (2004-2008) Molding Insert Kit, Stainless, 10 Pieces (MI44308)
MI44308 is a Regular Cab kit. Its row reads Ford F-150, 2004 through 2008, 2-door, pickup truck, Regular Cab, 6.5' bed, NO flares, and it supplies ten polished stainless strips at 1.5 inches wide to lay over the truck's existing body side moldings.
It's worth noting what the rest of this sheet shows. The molding insert kits listed here with details, MI44301, MI44303 and MI44305, are for the Super Cab and Crew Cab, not the Regular Cab. The door sill sets DS44302 and DS44316 are tagged Super Cab and Crew Cab too. So if your truck is a Regular Cab, those aren't your matches. The parts on this sheet whose tags include a 2-door pickup are GC44308, a 1-piece gas door cover trim, and MC44308, a 2-piece mirror cover set, both tagged 2-door and 4-door pickup truck.
Confirming the fit
Your truck should be a Regular Cab with a 6.5' bed, no flares, and a model year from 2004 to 2008. If it has flares, or the bed measures something other than 6.5', this row doesn't cover it. Twenty-two other numbers are cross-listed without details on this sheet, and some of them may suit a different setup. Call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 with MI44308 and your truck's details and we'll help sort it out.
Measuring the bed
If you don't know your bed length offhand, run a tape measure along the bed floor from the front wall to the closed tailgate, or check the truck's build paperwork. Compare the result with the 6.5' tag before ordering.
Strip specs
Ten strips, 1.5 inches wide, 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, polished, made in the USA. They mount with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape directly over the existing surface; no drilling. The record doesn't state where each strip goes, so the photos are the placement guide.
Condition of the moldings
Every strip sits on a molding that's already on the truck, so look each one over first. A cracked, lifting or patched molding should be repaired before anything goes on it, and old adhesive or wax has to come off. Compare the molding profile with the photos while you're there.
Install, step by step in words
First, sort and label: match the ten strips to the photos and mark each liner. Second, clean: soap and water, dry, then rubbing alcohol, allowed to flash off. Third, dry-fit with liners on and set painter's tape at both ends of each strip. Fourth, peel and press firmly along the full length. Fit a few strips and sight down them before moving on. The Installation tab gives the temperature range for the tape.
Care
Polished stainless stays bright with mild soap, water and a soft cloth. Skip steel wool and abrasive pads, which leave scratches in a polished finish. If anything about the Regular Cab tags, the bed length or the flares question is unclear, call 877-752-3811 and mention MI44308.

Installation tips: Body Molding Insert Trim Kit
- Unpack all 10 pieces and match each one to its position on the vehicle, using the product photos, before fitting any of them.
- Each piece mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, so clean and dry the mounting surface first; the tape needs paint or trim free of dirt and wax.
- Align the piece and press it firmly into place directly over the existing surface, working along its full length so the tape bonds evenly.
- Fit one piece at a time and compare each with the product photos and the pieces already in place.
These are general tips. Follow any instructions packed with your kit if they differ.
