cab trim rivets
Can I just cut off and grind down the little tab thingys on the back of the cab under the window?
Is it a rivet thats going to fall out later or is it some kind of weld?

Re: cab trim rivets
I have the trim. Looks really nice. Not going to reuse it. Probably put it on the parts board at some point.
I ground those things down and they disappeared into the surrounding metal so looks like its good to go. thanks |

Re: cab trim rivets
A lot of people don't know this but there is a tip that goes into the end of the stud gun dent puller system that is made to reinstall those rivets along the places like that where the divider chrome goes and the windshield chrome retainers clips as well. Some people put the clips on with a screw, not to say that is incorrect but it is more holes in a body that is apt to corrosion anyway. The truck where I had some damage to the area I removed the rivet, repaired the damage, and then replaced the rivet before the part was put back on. Jim
