Product Description
Ford F-150 Crew Cab 2004-2008, 6.5' Bed, No Flares: 12-Piece Stainless Molding Insert Kit (MI44305)
Crew Cab kits in this F-150 family carry twelve strips, where the Super Cab kits on the same sheet carry ten. MI44305 is one of the twelve-piece kits: polished 304 stainless steel, 1.5 inches wide, tagged for the 2004 through 2008 Ford F-150 Crew Cab, 4-door, with a 6.5' bed and no flares.
Choosing between the Crew Cab kits
This sheet shows the other 6.5' bed Crew Cab kit, MI44306, which is also 12 pieces at 1.5 but tagged "w/ Flares." The single difference in the tags is flares. MI44305 is tagged "NO Flares," so it's the one for a Crew Cab without them. If you have flares, look at MI44306. If you're not certain, a call to Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 with your truck's details will settle it.
Bed length
The 6.5' tag is the other thing to confirm. A tape measure along the bed floor, front wall to tailgate, or your build paperwork will tell you. Other bed lengths aren't covered by this row.
Specification
Twelve strips, each 1.5 inches wide. Material: 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, polished. Origin: made in the USA. Mounting: 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, installed directly over the existing surface, so no drilling. The record doesn't list a position for each of the twelve; the photos are the layout guide.
The moldings underneath
The strips go over the moldings already on the truck, so inspect those first. Any crack, loose end or leftover adhesive should be fixed or cleaned before you start, because the tape needs a sound surface. If a molding has been replaced and looks different from the photos, call before ordering.
Managing twelve pieces
With this many strips, organization saves time. Spread the twelve F-150 inserts on a clean towel, group them by the gallery, and number each liner. Wash, dry and alcohol-wipe the moldings, then dry-fit the strips with liners on. Mark ends with painter's tape. Peel and press each strip firmly end to end. Look along the strips from the front once a run is done, and only then move on. Full steps and the tape's temperature range are on the Installation tab.

Installation tips: Body Molding Insert Trim Kit
- Unpack all 12 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.
