Re: She's baaccckkkk!!!!
Thanks guys, I'll be taking more pics when i install the trim and molding back on. I do have a question though, the lower molding that comes in adhesive strips, where do you recommend I get it from? I've noticed that some aftermarket ones are not exact so i want to be careful in what i choose. LMC wants $79 for a 32 foot roll which i believve is not enough, think i'd be a few feet short. Went to NAPA they wanted $130 for 34 feet. what do you recommend?

Re: She's baaccckkkk!!!!
I ordered a roll from Brothers, but have not gotten it yet. I can report on its authenticity when it gets here, though My personal opinion was that as long as it was close, it would be ok because i am replacing all of it, just like you are.

The problem i found is when they mate up to rear corner pieces, that is where it's most noticable. thanks for the tip though i'll check them out.

Re: She's baaccckkkk!!!!
Lookin good, man! I'll agree that a sport bumper would look good too. Also, a new set of taillights will make a big difference in looks.

Price is kind of steep at $149.95, but it's also pre-cut as the original was so it should be a lot less hassle to put it on. If I ever get mine done so that I can put new trim on this is the way that I'll be going. ...Joe

Re: She's baaccckkkk!!!!
On my '82 K5 the trim has all been replaced (by PO) and it is different than the rear corner (aluminum?) pieces. It is narrower. Looks similar other than that though.
I wonder if the roll is a match to OE or if its like the trim on my Blazer? The price for the kit does seem steep but I have seen the indiviual pieces offered for sale for a price that makes this complete set seem more than fair. All the trim on my '86 GMC swb is in rough shape so this looks like a nice item to me. When I have an extra $150? On a side note, in the LMC catalogs it always says "lists $100, sell $80" or something like that. Where is it listing for the price they show? Quote:
