Re: cab trim
It takes the nail head thingys that are part of the cab. A plastic clip with a keyhole disign slides over them then the moulding snaps onto them. You can also by the clips and screw them in.

Re: cab trim
Does anyone know how to remove the paint divider without damage so it could be reused?

Re: cab trim
With patience and care.It`s held by small plastic clips.If you pop the trim on the side,you can slide it off.I use a chisel or putty knife and twist.Just watch closely to see if it`s giving and don`t force.Ask for a picture of where they are located so you have that advantage.

Re: cab trim
I'm leaving mine on because I'm thnking of replacing the chrome strip divider on my 68. It really doesn't detract from the looks.
If it was going to be a show type truck, I think it may be possible to simply clip them off with a strong wire/nail cutter and then gently grind them down. I have one or two that broke off and they broke off cleanly and even with the cab... |

Re: cab trim
If you do not originally have the trim on your truck you need
67-72 Cab Rear Paint Divider Screw Stud Set which screws into back of cab metal so that you can then use the 67-72 Cab Rear Paint Divider Clip Set to install the trim. You'll find both on the following page of our web site http://www.gmcpauls.com/trim_clips.htm GMCPaul |

Re: cab trim
My truck did not have the divider trim, and I used #10 screws to attach the plastic trim clips. It was GMCPaul that gave me the measurements of the screw locations. Worked out great...
