Yes, if you use the wider 73-80 cab trim you'll need to use the older (and slightly shorter) gutters. But the narrower 81-87 cab trim will fit with either style gutter.

I used some Mother's Mag & Aluminum polish. It works good on stainless steel too, and I think the gutter trim pieces are stainless.

I used a small 1/4" open-ended wrench to remove the gutter screws. I think some years use 7mm metric though. And if I remember correctly, you have to loosen all the screws and gently pull the gutter away from the cab a little before you'll have enough room to completely remove the screws.

An alternative removal method is to gently pry the stainless trim cap off the retainer rail. The retainer rail has notches to clear the screw heads so you have easy access with a small socket. However, this method carries an increased risk of bending the thin stainless trim when prying it off and/or snapping it back on.
