Check out this trim
Original trim, original cab corner. It looks worse in person than in the picture. I guess I need to waller (if that's a word) the hole out?

Re: Check out this trim
I have an all original 71 Cheyenne built at Janesville and the trim is put on terrible! Janesville trucks seem to be built very sloppy

Re: Check out this trim
From what I see Leonard, your door to bed molding is dead-on. Don't often see that on less than a rebuild, I take it the cab mounts were replaced?
Not to hijack this thread, but if anyone has precise measurements for each end of each piece, that would be very much appreciated. One side only of course, but tail would be a bonus. I can get by with the horizontal measurements only (e.g., front edge of door to hole is........). The height seems pretty straight forward, even without GMs reference points. GM provides the measurements, but the reference points are a mystery. The truck I'm building never had the moldings, but will. On a side, GMs assembly manual is more or less a guide. First, there's no substitute for a good eye test. That's the obvious............. Second, with at least some of the factory hardware packages that came with the moldings, they used a lot of 3M stick-on clips. In other terms, you don't have to drill so many holes. Seems I read this change occurred 71-72. That said, wouldn't surprise me if the difference is "replacement parts", sometime after 1972.

Re: Check out this trim
Hey Baker, that looks awesome! New trim?
71short: Yes, new mounts. I would have gladly taken measurements for you before I put the trim on. |

Re: Check out this trim
Just throwing this out I really don't know anything about trim, but could it be on the wrong side, is it possible ?

Re: Check out this trim
Instead of wallering out a hole, you can measure how far it's off. Remove the trim clip and remove the stud from the clip. Much like removing a rivet. Then cut a bolt to the length you need and drill a new hole in the trim clip, stick the bolt through so it's flush with the back of the clip and tack it. You technically wouldn't have to drill a hole in the clip. You could just place the stud where you want it and weld it on the clip.
This will relocate the trim piece without modifying your sheet metal. Or, you could get 2 plastic stick on clips and put the trim piece right where you need it. The stick on ones leave a lot to be desired over time though...
