Thanks, I screwed up a little on the doors. I drilled the two holes on the ends too close to the inside lip of the door and couldn't get the nut on, I had to move the holes over an inch. Now I have a couple holes to fill, guess that's why you mock things up before paint. Maybe next time I will pay closer attention

The fit up of the trim looks great Keith! I don't have a preference if it's shiny black or flat black. The chrome trim and the red bowtie sets it off for me, it looks cool.

Love the trim Keith

!!

Looks perfect man. Mine is getting trim too and I agree on drilling the holes as scary as it is..

Trim is awesome!

Thanks guys, I got the rest of the passenger side done today. I think it looks awesome and compliments the wheels nicely. I'm happy I decided to run the trim

Thanks guys, I never thought I would love the trim this much but I do. Even my wife who was against adding the trim loves it now after seeing it. Hopefully I will have the driver side done this weekend, then I can pull the truck back apart to finish the bodywork.

I thought about it but I really love the laid out pic in the driveway. Maybe after I get the driver side trim on, I'll have to push it back out in the driveway for some new pics

Trim changes the whole truck. It really makes these trucks and I believe the trim appeals to the masses

Rusbuilt · 05-20-2014, 03:49 PM

Trim looks awesome buddy!!

Thanks Eric, I have to admit when I first started my love affair with these trucks I didn't like trim of any kind or emblems or door handles etc... I was completely in that stage where nothing looked right to me unless everything was shaved off. Now I'm building a truck with a factory look to the body with nothing shaved and I think it looks so much better. I guess I have grown out of that stage

Thanks Rus, anything new with your truck? Still trying to sell it?

Hard to believe GM got it so right so long ago. Best looking trucks of all time bar none. I love the trim and emblems but I've had my share of slick sided steppers. Loved them all.

I took the truck off the market just trying to sell the 6.0 swap now. If I can do that I think I can hang on to the rest of the truck.

tune_1 · 05-20-2014, 11:33 PM

I think with those wheels and that trim I would be highly motivated. I like the look.

Normally, I'm not a fan of trim, but it looks really good on your truck.
