upper moulding retaining clip pics

Postby tybob81 on Tue Nov 17, 2009 9:41 am

I am wanting to put on a set of NOS upper trim I pieced together for my 68 swb custom cab.  My truck had it stock, but during the restoration I welded up the holes in the original sheet metal I reused and the replacement parts I used were from a 69 base model and didn't come with trim.  If I could see some pics of the types of clips and spacing along the upper "bump" would help greatly.

You just need (8) 1/8" holes, evenly spaced, down the side, on the crest of the bump. The two end holes will be larger diameter.
