Re: Help! I need to remove my upper and lower trim so my truck can get painted!

If you have upper and lower molding, and you want to do it right, I would take out the inner fenders. It is not that difficult, just time consuming. Just remove wheel/tire to get out inner fender after you remove all the bolts. Then you reach around, under, in, through to remove the nuts from the clips. If you are really talented you can even remove the Custom/Cheyenne emblems.

The doors should be fairly easy. Check all the ends for screws or nuts. I know the lower molding on mine had a nut behind the door hinge( good luck with that one). The middle portion of the door trim in 1972 should be stick on clips, if not look/feel inside door for the nuts for the clips

The passenger side of the cab ain’t to bad, you should be able to reach in there around the jack area and loosen the nuts. Two for each piece. If the gas tank is in the normal position, GOOD LUCK WITH THE DRIVERS SIDE CAB PIECES.

On the bed, the upper should have pop in clips at each end. The center portion of a 72 truck upper trim should be stick on clips. On the lower trim look for two screws on each side at the very rear near the bumper. On the rest of the truck bed crawl under the truck you should be able to see some pop in clips that you can squeeze together with needle nose and push out, And maybe some clips have the nuts which are easy, and there may be some stick on clips as well…….Jason
