72 Lower Trim, Questions - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

muddpile · 08-14-2007, 09:54 PM

I'm getting closer and closer to the day I order my new lower trim for my 72LWB, and the closer I get, the more I wonder how I'm going to go about installing it. Here's my questions:
-I see LMC have the whole kit for $300 with clips. Is it the same quality as anyones? I'll be doing black.
-I see they also sell the matching tailgate band I need and the letters. Does the band come with the letters or do I have to buy them separately?
-What clips does the kit come with, or better yet, what clips are reccommended use?
-What order do I put the trim on in? If there are nuts that need to go on, some can't be reached with panels on, which is why I ask.

That's about it. Thanks!

The lower trim can all be installed with the panels on. I would highly recommend using the clips with nuts! They pull in tight a lot better. You do have to have the inner door panels removed to do it. If you didn't already have the holes, I would recommend getting the diagrams from the builders guide for hole placement. If you don't have a builders guide, you should get one from LMC or ?? Also, someone on here will scan the pics that you need until you get your own guide. I can't remember who, though.

I have two sets of this trim for a LWB with the clips. I'm not going to use it. I'm having mine welded up altogether upper & lower. I will make a great deal on it if your interested in it. I have extra clips also.
MT1972cheyenne,
What is this about the mounting holes? Curious even though I'm not going to use mine, I haven't ever herd about where the holes should be drilled. I just drilled the hole and put the clip where it needed to be.

Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.
