How do you attach upper trim?
How do you attach the upper trim on a short bed? I haven't started it yet but I don't see how you can get the nuts on the back of the trim clips. No access and the bed has never ben drilled for the. Thanks Bill

Re: How do you attach upper trim?
I believe 69 & 70 used spring-metal snap-in clips to attach the upper bedside molding.
Sometime around 71 or so they changed to plastic clips stuck to the body with 3M (or similar) adhesive. I think they still used the snap-in metal clips at the very front & back ends of the molding though. |

Thanks I did order my new molding and it comes with 3m adhesive strips. I guess I will wait until get them to check it out.
Thanks Bill |

Typical of everything I bought from LMC. garbage. If it's not 3m VHB tape change it over before sticking. Posted via Mobile Device |

Oh I was wrong I did order them from LMC. I got doors from Goodmark and some other things from Classic.
How are they other than the adhesive? I can put 3M double side tape on them. |

Re: How do you attach upper trim?
For what it's worth, see post #1 at the following link. It lists what came with my NOS upper, lower & rears moldings. Includes some other info. that may make life easier. It's for a short bed. Can't say when the parts were manufactured.

Re: How do you attach upper trim?
Pics for randy500
These are measurements of the stock holes Front and back upper trim On a Shortbed In the first pic the lower tape measure IS lined up with body crease (Even though it doesn't look like it) In the last pic. The tape measure is hooked on the curve of the metal Inside cavity for marker. NOT where metal ends |
