Re: putting trim on and cargo light

^ x2 They make special small-headed screws just for this type of thing. They're made for replacing those welded studs in situations where they've broken off, body panels have been replaced, and such.

As Tx Firefighter mentioned in his first reply, the 73-80 molding is wider than 81-87 and the side pieces fit up under the rain gutters a little. That causes the wider 73-80 molding to have an interference issue with 81-87 rain gutters. You need to use pre-81 gutters if you're going to use the wider cab molding.

I found that out the hard way when doing dad's 77. Found some nice dent/ding free gutters off an 81-87. Polished them all up and went to put them on but they wouldn't quite clear the original cab molding.
