You are going to add it back or not. So I understand that the rear chrome trim was removed when a sliding rear window was ordered?
Edit: in doing a little research, I think you are right here is what I found
Yes, when a sliding rear window was ordered on a 1972 Chevy C10, the factory-installed chrome trim (Deluxe Trim) around the rear window was deleted. The sliding rear window came with its own black rubber gasket that did not accommodate the stainless trim used on the fixed rear window.
If your truck originally had a Deluxe Trim Package, ordering the sliding rear window would mean the rear window trim was omitted, but the rest of the exterior trim (such as the windshield trim, side moldings, and drip rail moldings) remained.
This is like being a detective, I wish I could go back in time and see exactly how my truck came off the assembly line. I was prepared for the PITA job of removing the rear window and trying to add the chrome trim.

Freedom isn't safe, it requires you to take responsibility for your own life, your own safety, and your own success. It carries with it the possibility of failure and the understanding that you're working without out a safety net. If you give the state the responsibility for any of these you also give up the freedom that accompanies the responsibility.
