$10 junkyard find

1 Attachment(s)

Picked up the trim that goes around the back of the cab (not the one in the picture) from the local junkyard for $10 both the corner pieces and the center piece. The paint on the corner pieces is a bit faded and its covered in dust and dirt but ill put up some pictures when Ive cleaned it.

I see a new set of this trim costs a couple hundred dollars.

I repainted my fender emblems with paint I found at the hobby store. Had to paint them because no one makes them aftermarket.

No I didnt get the clips. I thought I would put them on my truck and just use those clips but since I know how to get them off now I think ill reuse the ones on my truck and sell this set so I can buy other things for my truck.

This is how I removed it at the junkyard. The one corner piece was already loose and I just pulled it off, then I just pulled (or pushed on the other end) and the center piece just slid off. The other corner piece we carefully pried back a litte with flat head screw driver and turned the clip until we could get the corner off.

You almost never see these pieces without a ding or two. Nice find!

Heres a corner piece.

Is there a way to get those scratches and blemishes out? Could I use some really fine sand paper to take them out or something?
