Installing "Custom" cab moldings
So I bought these cab moldings for my 65 longbed but not quite sure how I want to go about putting them on just yet. Any ideas?? I know I've really only got about 2 choices, glue it or drill it on there. Just curious what you guys have done and what's worked and hasn't.

Re: Installing "Custom" cab moldings
You should drill pilot holes for the screws and then pick up a set of replacement screws from any of the classic truck supply shops (LMC, Classic Parts, Brothers). They all have the screws, they're stainless, and very inexpensive.

Re: Installing "Custom" cab moldings
I used 3M double sided tape.

Re: Installing "Custom" cab moldings
Its somewhat of a tight fit where the molding meets the edge of the door. Would tape make it stick out too far? or would the heads of the screws stick out too far? Do you think this could be a different problem related to the position of the door?

Re: Installing "Custom" cab moldings
I used the double sided tape on the leading edge and there's no impact with the door.
This solution worked for me as I didn't want to drill holes in my cab. |

Re: Installing "Custom" cab moldings
Easiest thing would be double side tape...but I would screw it on just for the fact of knowing that they won't fly or fall off.

Re: Installing "Custom" cab moldings
Id go with the factory option and get the 4 screws that they each take.

Re: Installing "Custom" cab moldings
Does anyone have a link to a site that sells the hardware? I just checked classic parts an they don't sell just the screws.
