how do the 2 side pieces and back come off? i messed around with it but i didn't wanna pull too hard and break something off

The end caps are bolted on, and the center section is held on with clips. Reach up into the cab pillar to access the bolts, and then work the center up and down to get it loose from the clips.

A cordless ratchet is your friend when doing the cab corner moldings.

ugh. don't have one of those! im sure i'll have some busted knuckles when all is said and done

blackbeaSSt · 04-05-2011, 07:51 PM

well that wasn't too bad. the brackets were almost rusted to pieces but they will hold! the previous owner also didn't have nuts on there but rather a small bowl shaped thingy?! so i had to round up 2 .06 nuts at ace hardware!

all in all not too bad but it doesn't seem to fit as flush as the others though. oh well

Pop's C-10 · 04-05-2011, 09:22 PM

bowl shaped things are tha nuts i beleave,,,most cars had them..

RandyP · 04-05-2011, 09:42 PM

Should be thread cutting nuts on there.
