Re: 72 Cheyenne Trim
I have noticed that a lot of trucks with trim from the factory actually have (or look like) the trim going down hill on the door, then uphill on the front fender. The last truck I did was not equipped with trim originally, but I did install upper and lower trim on it. The bottom, or course, was easy. Here's what I did for the top: I started with the door piece, since it has the notch for the lock, and put it on level. Then I taped all of the other trim on in line with that piece, using a string to get it all straight. Stepped back to look at it, and it looked like it was high on both ends! This is an optical illusion , and lots of times when you are dealing with straight lines (trim) and curves (fenders), things look wrong if you put them on completely straight. So, I then dropped the ends a small amount until the line was pleasing to the eye. Good luck!
