What is the easiest way to add the stainless trim piece behind the cab for two tone paint, on a truck that doesn't have the studs for the clips???

Re: Adding a stainless paint divider trim
Use (I think) a #10 sheet metal screw for where each stud would be. I did this on my truck.... If you already have the plastic clips, take those with you to the hardware store to find the right size screwhead that fits into the locking part of the clip....

Re: Adding a stainless paint divider trim
When you drill the hole, make sure you realize there is a gas tank on the other side of the sheet metal!

Re: Adding a stainless paint divider trim
The factory had studs welded to the cab. Thanks John!.

Re: Adding a stainless paint divider trim
I was watching TRUCKS! on sunday and they were showing all the things you could use a stud gun for. Pulling dents and adding the studs for trim were a couple uses

Re: Adding a stainless paint divider trim
I haven't found anything yet on the board vendor sites for these studs. I think the screws should work.

Re: Adding a stainless paint divider trim
the 67-72 Truck Assembly Manual even lists the intervals at which the stud (or in your case) the screws are factory located. saw that today as I looked through my manual while getting duals installed on my baby. YEAH!!!!

Re: Adding a stainless paint divider trim
Chevy Duty or whatever they are called now ( Classic Parts )sells the clips and screw in replacements for studs, but as far as I know they were the only ones.
I think this is the item number from their catalog http://www.classicparts.com/prodinfo.asp?number=62-327K

Re: Adding a stainless paint divider trim
I've seen the the kits but never saw the replacement studs before. My dad needs them for his truck!

Re: Adding a stainless paint divider trim
You can buy pop rivits that hold the clips in place. You drill the 1/8 inch hole put the pop rivit in and slide the clip on. I have used them at work and they work good. If do use the rivits I would put a dab of sealer on the rivit when you install it.
