Anyone cut down there own upper trim for a blazer? is it better to start with a long bed trim or short bed. Does it make any difference?

Any tips on cutting trim?

Previous owner did mine...

I would put a piece of tape on it, as a straight line guide. Use a cut off wheel, leaving it slightly long, and finish it off by sanding the edge that last little bit.

Hey rustybucket. Can I ask what wheels you have. Looks good.

Thanks I contacted mar-k and two different people told me they don't make it .

I was wondering if anyone buys the longhorn package trim since it would come with the two little rear pcs. And would only require one cut. Not sure if worth it or not

is that a Gaylord Lid?

RustyBucket · 01-15-2015, 03:49 PM

yes... it's skinned up the paint a little on the corners where it overlaps the bed.

Thought so, planning on a lid like that as well, actually they're local to me and I've talked to them about doing one with a spoiler on it and made to work with my half top. Great looking truck you got there.
