Paint divider cab trim mounting
 

Need pictures of how cab divider trim is being mounted on trucks that didn't have it originally. Are you guys using rivets or screws for the mounting clips?

The dimensions and placement should be in the factory assembly manual. They use to make a special screw that replicated the stud that is welded to the cab.
They also make the exact stud for a body dent "stud gun welder" if you have access to one of those.

Any idea where I can get those studs we have a stud gun. Thanks for reply

It takes a special adapter for the end of the stud gun too. What brand gun do you have. I have a box of those I think.

I would have to ask body shop who's helping me with it. That's nice of you I can paypal you some money for them. He has a few different guns maybe 1 would work

Your welcome and thanks too.

If he has multiple stud guns he probably has the adapter. It looks like the adapters are available. I will have to see if I still have those, haven't used them in at least 15 years...
