73-79 Body trim
How is the 73-79 side trim attached to the body? Are there holes with the little cap screws like the grill trim? Does anyone have some reference points to where I can measure and install it in the right spot?

Re: 73-79 Body trim
It's a combo of various hardware. Some areas are metal snap clips, some are little studs with nuts on the back side, some are square plastic pads with double-sided tape, and there's a few ends that are held on with a simple counter-sunk phillips screw.

Re: 73-79 Body trim
I got all my body side trim for my 78 from Classic Parts. I'm happy with it and it came with all fasteners needed to install it.

Re: 73-79 Body trim
Was the trim kit expensive? What is the classic parts website? I'm also interested in this.

Re: 73-79 Body trim
I was thinking of installing it with 3M tape and then epoxying the screw heads in place where needed. That way all I have to worry about is getting it straight...
