Cab paint divider where there was none
So is putting a cab paint divider difficult when a cab didn't have one originally?
I still need to come up with one. It seems like they had some sort of spot welded mounting point thingies. Do you have to mount them this way or could a person use some sort of sticky back tape? Interested in seeing how you have gone about this if you started with none originally.

Re: Cab paint divider where there was none
There are small nylon clips that slide onto those studs. If your truck doesnt have the studs why not just use small screws to anchor the clips?
Prob need a #6 x 3/8". I can't recall if that part of the cab is double walled or not. I'll check. Mark

Re: Cab paint divider where there was none
We installed a kit from LMC (I think) that came with the stainless trim, the plastic clips and tiny screws that need to be installed. After careful measuring we pulled a straight tape line and drilled the holes and put in the screws. Iit was a pretty simple installation, and really worked great.

I have no experience with these, but this appears to be what you need.

Re: Cab paint divider where there was none
Ok, thanks guys. Just need to source an OEM set of moldings. I prefer using OEM whenever possible. May end up having to go with aftermarkets, we'll see =)

Re: Cab paint divider where there was none
The original mounting tits were spot welded on at the factory, and as has been mentioned, the nylon clips were used. If you use screws, make sure that you seal them somehow, so that any water that gets on them is repelled, as they will eventually let the body rust. Not a problem where I live here, in an irrigated desert.

Re: Cab paint divider where there was none
I did not want to deal with the possibility of the screws leaking, and I wanted something different, so I had the trim airbrushed.....

Re: Cab paint divider where there was none
Most good body shops have a stud welding gun ( Used for pulling dents and such ) and can spot weld the tabs on just like the originals.

Re: Cab paint divider where there was none
More great info, thanks!
The airbrushed trim looks great. I bet that was expensive.
