Added my Trim Today!!!!
I'm sure a few of will remember the questions i had not that long ago about adding the cab trim, and tailgate band to my truck,(Under the 'Trim Removal' Thread)... I knocked it out today... thanks for all the advice and pointers I got from you all!!! Took me a bit of time, drilling, and patience... but it came out pretty good... seeings the fact that I'm new at this type of stuff. I'm digging it though!!!

Re: Added my Trim Today!!!!
Right on! Thanks! Now that I look at the pictures side by side... I'm gonna kinda miss the bone-stock look..LOL oh well.., I'll get used to the trim... maybe trim around the fenders next?? don't know.. what do you all think? I can't seem to stop now.. It's addicting.. It all started with replacing my stock column.. with a tilt one... been adding stuff every since.... oh yeah, joining this site hasn't helped much either!! LOL I keep seeing things I like.. and want to add... ehhh.. I thank the Lord for giving me this as a project/hobby.. keeps me out of trouble.. =0)

Looks like you've got Dessert Sand Metallic Paint and Saddle Tan Custom interior. It does look very good!

Re: Added my Trim Today!!!!
Yeah.. it was a cool little project,... had to do some minor tweeking and adjusting, but It was well worth the experience of it all., seeings that I'm relatively new to the restoration game.. I like it! I think I found myself a new Hobby (..so long, my finances allow it).. but, you know

Re: Added my Trim Today!!!!
.. Scale of 1 to 10... 10 being the toughest..... I'd say a 5... seeings that I had no trim from the factory to start with in the first place... I did take measurments from the donor truck... measured like 3 times before I drilled..lol It wasn't that hard.. I just used some sheetmetal screws to attach the clips I got from the donor truck... although.. when i got to the last two clips.. towards the passenger side i slid the straight piece on.. and it rode a bit higher than the driver side... don't know what happened.. I did something wrong... but I had to lower the last two by eye.. and it came out good! other than that... sweet gig

Re: Added my Trim Today!!!!
my truck said it was saddle tan and desert sand. mine was two tone with the gold color on top and bottom, and then a more beige color in the middle. the PO painted it rattle can white so it was hard to tell,
i think the saddle tan is the gold color.
