Okay Tim Christian gave me a deal I couldnt refuse on a complete set of lower trim (new) . Now I 'm going to have to install it on a truck that didnt come with it . What is going to be the best way to get my marks to drill. I hate that word (drill). What size drill bit do I need? Has anyone done this ? HELP PLEASE!!!!!

Big Orange Thanks for the offer on the lower trim .if you still dont want it let me know I will still take it for backup.

id like it up on the door and see if ya can figure it out that way either that or go sit in the junkyard with a ruler and paper

You could try just using the adhesive clips instead of drilling. Most vehicles nowadays are done that way. This would make lining up the trim alot easier. Just follow the body lines and forget about holes.

The later trucks used the adhesive clips from the factory...on every thing except the front clip...go figure. All the pieces all held on at each end by a screw or bolt-in clip...I guess in case the adhesive fails...Makes it much easier on the bed and doors.
