Are you looking for a set of the trim,i have a few sets here and can get pics?

wibilly · 03-04-2006, 08:10 PM

yea i will need some trim but what i'm looking for right now is a pic of the back of a cab showing the exact location in respect to the body line. the back of my cab was dented pretty bad and want to see where chrome sits if it will hide the line on the ridge or how much more sculpting i need to do

i can help ya out, hmm well after going through 300 67-72 pics, i couldn't find a good one, but the trim goes from the bottom of the driprail, to the other side. so where the driprail ends is where the trim goes.

Keep in mind you need special rivits that are set into the body for that trim to work. If your cab was not set up originaly you may have a hard time getting them installed.

Yes as Rokcrln said there are rivits in the body to attach the trim.
I took off the trim on mine awhile back and here are some pics of the rivits and the clips holding the trim to the body.

Clips

wibilly · 03-07-2006, 06:09 AM

i wasn't aware of the pins required to hold the clips is it possable to pop rivet the clips on. anyone ever do this with success? how about aftermarket clips?thanks for the heads up and photos guys

Rokcrln · 03-07-2006, 07:59 AM

Some body shops have the tooling to weld them on. I have it if you want to swing by

I just bought a pro stud welding/dent puller and it has the attachments to weld them on. But as far as I know they do not have a pop rivit that will work.

a buddy of mine has a stud welding gun i'll check it out and see if it will take the adaoter or if he has it. thanks again

I used stainless steel screws (don't remember size, 6, 8, or 10) but the head of the screw is about the same size of original stud heads. Email GMCPaul as he has the measurements of each stud and should be able to give that to youl.

Once each hole is drilled, put the plastic clip in place and tighten the screw. I used a sealer on the threads to seal up the hole, prevent rust, hopefully act as a threadlocker.
