Thanks guys. I got the epoxy in the voids of the trim. It's ugly but it'll work lol.

[thelonerife]

I just got their catalog not too long ago. Some good prices in there too.

Yeah I like Hendrix. My son works at a music store and Fender magazine had an article on him so he got it for me. He's a good son. If I could do a video with my truck in it I would use If 6 was 9. At least the first part of it lol.

I like the epoxy idea. For the record, I used NOS trim and clips on my upper tailgate trim and it still has a small gap on the RH side. Drives me nuts but now you gave me a solution if it comes down to it.
Oh yeah, thanks for the Hendrix link listening now.

That's really cool that the gmc used your truck on their page .

[duallyjams]

Just listen to the link also but we need a pic of you dressed the part for the video with the truck

I grew up with Hendrix on the turn table among others.

Hate to say it but i am still trying to figure out how your gonna attach the trim, double stick tape?

[ATL Powder]

Just an awesome build!

[thelonerife]

Thanks guys! I managed to get the new trim on. I tried it with the 3m tape on the epoxy areas and wasn't happy. It seems the trim didn't pull up tight enough next to the handle for me. So I took a pair of trim clips that came with the new trim (the nut and bolt ones ) and added them next to the trim near the handle. I had to take the handle off to get to the nuts for tightening but it looks so much better.

SOOO in the future I will not drill all the holes for the push in clips. Just two for the handle trim and two for each of the ones beside it. I will do the epoxy trick in the middle of those too.

Was going to get an outside pic but its sprinkling here. This will have to do.lol

Thank you sir!

That truck sits perfect, I hope to see you in it out on the road someday!

[mcbassin]

Nice work on the trim Chuck. I may end up have to steal that trick on mine. I find myself pushing the trim in on the pass. side every time I notice it. Thanks for sharing.

[thelonerife]

Thanks guys. It sure looks good to me. I will do this to all my trucks if they have trim from here on out.

Thanks. I'm glad that its done. I was nervous about drilling the holes but it went good.

[GAc10boy]

Wow! I'm blown away. I just spent every chance I had over the past few days to read every post of the 101 page thread. Choncho is absolutely amazing!

I'm picking up a '71 GMC in a few weeks and will refer back to this thread as I start its build. Hope it turns out this nice one day.

Congrats on the Best of Show! Really a classy truck.

[thelonerife]

Thanks Robbie. I appreciate the compliments. I took Choncho to a local show/fund raiser at a church and he got a top 50 award.

[mcbassin]

Congrats on the award Chuck, well deserved!

[thelonerife]

Thanks Mike

[cubber]

Congrats! You goin to the Rumble?

[thelonerife]

I plan on it. Might not bring the truck tho. Don't know yet. I've only got like 150 miles on it so if I do I may trailer it. You going?
