Product Description
Long-Bed Regular Cab F-150 Stainless Molding Inserts: 8' Bed, No Flares, 2004-2008 (MI44309)
The tag that matters most on MI44309 is the bed: 8'. This ten-piece set of polished 304 stainless molding insert strips is listed for the 2004 through 2008 Ford F-150 Regular Cab, 2-door, with an 8' bed and no flares. Each strip is 1.5 inches wide.
Fit at a glance
- Make and model: Ford F-150
- Years: 2004 through 2008
- Cab: Regular Cab, tagged 2-door
- Bed: 8'
- Flares: none (tag reads "NO Flares")
Every line should match your truck. The title gives the make, model and years but not the cab, bed or flares, so rely on the row. When in doubt, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and quote MI44309.
Why the bed length matters
The kits on this sheet are listed separately by cab, bed length and flares, so a kit tagged for one bed length shouldn't be assumed to fit another. Measure along the bed floor from the front wall to the closed tailgate, or check the truck's build paperwork, and confirm you have the 8' bed before ordering.
What the kit is
Ten strips of 26 gauge 304 stainless steel with a polished finish, made in the USA, all 1.5 inches wide. They mount with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape and go directly over the existing surface, so you won't drill anything. With MI44309 in hand, call 877-752-3811 about your F-150. The record doesn't say which strip goes where; the photos show the layout.
On this sheet
Twenty-nine parts are cross-listed. The ones shown with details are DS44302 and DS44316, 4-piece door sill sets tagged for the Super Cab and Crew Cab; GC44308, a 1-piece gas door cover trim, and MC44308, a 2-piece mirror cover set, both tagged for 2-door and 4-door pickups; and MI44301, MI44303 and MI44305, molding insert kits tagged for the Super Cab or Crew Cab. None of those MI kits is a Regular Cab kit. The other twenty-two numbers carry no details on this sheet.
Getting it on straight
With the moldings washed, dried and wiped with rubbing alcohol, lay out the strips by the photos and number the liners. Dry-fit each with the liner still on and place painter's tape at the ends. Then peel and press firmly from one end to the other. Do the inserts on two doors completely and check them from the front of the truck before starting the rest. The Installation tab covers the temperature range for the tape.
Check the moldings themselves before any of this. Repair cracks or lifting ends, and remove old adhesive and wax; the tape needs a clean, sound surface to bond.
A helper makes it easier
Ten strips on a long-bed truck means a lot of walking back and forth. A second person can hold the far end of a strip during the dry fit and tell you whether it sits evenly on the molding, which saves repeated trips to check.
Cleaning
Mild soap, water and a soft cloth. No steel wool. Questions? 877-752-3811.

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.
