Well question anybody got an extra rear roll pan im over the bumper

72chevyfleet · 03-10-2009, 05:50 PM

anyone know how you can get the upper trim off the fenders without taking the wheel wells out and tailgate?

oldblue1968chevy · 03-10-2009, 07:58 PM

my 68 trim (diff. than urs) just pulled off...well sorta lol

72chevyfleet · 03-11-2009, 11:05 PM

lucky some of mine pulls off then some of it is bolted on but does anyone know how to get the tailgate off??

19723DR · 03-12-2009, 12:09 AM

There should be two brackets on the bottom corners of the talegate. There are four bolts that hold those brackets. The bolts are hiding behind that huge bumper.
Good luck with your truck

72chevyfleet · 04-01-2009, 11:52 PM

i finally ripped the bed wood out most of it fell out on the ground (that was hell) i finally said screw it and dumped it all on the ground and then i towed it out with (i was all by myself) toyota and swept it out so now its just the trim pieces are there then i noticed how dirty my undercarriage was and the bed strips are toast not event media blasting would help there TOAST so this upcoming weekend im gonna take the trim off the whole truck and the bed strips out and hopefully get the tailgate sanded and primered black and hopefully the grill too so i'll get the camera out and take some pics for you but the exterior picture didnt change much because i need more black primer and dont have any money

72chevyfleet · 05-15-2009, 09:57 PM

how the hell did u do that is that primer black or flat black?

turbohacker · 07-04-2009, 01:37 AM

The primer is made by PCL and its called "901 black" its a great product, it goes on THICK and sands really nice. it even turns grey when you sand it almost eliminating the need for guide coats. Plus it looks badass! but it is very rough on a side note untill you sand it...

Trucks looking awsome btw! keep it up and youll probobly finish way before me!

72chevyfleet · 07-04-2009, 08:35 PM
