If you were going to keep the two tone on the sides then I would definately leave the trim on. If you are going to paint the truck gold and the top white, then I would ditch the trim. The trim would look out of place if it was just sitting there doing nothing. My .02

I agree

gchemist · 01-02-2002, 01:11 PM

I agree too. Ditch the moldings. I did.

Less stuff to replace later.

Wish I could have got to you sooner.
Should have kept the trim. Oh well, to each his own.

Rat, Wise choice, lose the moldings! I like the monochrome look. We are going to lose the cab moldings on my son's truck as soon as I perfect my welding skills. That color is going to be the same as your '62...right? Nice color!
