Body side trim!

[Georgia71]

I wonder if anyone can tell me how to get the body side molding off on my 71 F-100. It's starting to get so rust in behind it. I can feel some studs on the inside but doesn't feel like it has nuts on them. Do you just pry it off?

There's usually a srew at the front and back of each piece. Everything else in between is a clip. Don't pull to hard on it though, or you can cause a kink.

There's several threads on this subject with lots of photos attached. Here's one to get you started. I used a nutdriver and a 1/4" drive to take mine off.

When I was looking for this photo I searched using the term "trim." This other one popped up. I took it when this guy was trimming some palm trees around my house. Business name: Unlicensed by Choice.

Each piece of trim on your truck is held on by a nut on each end. The rest of the fasteners for each piece are clips. The box trim is accessed through the tailgate opening, and behind rubber plugs in the inside front of the box.
Do not try to pull the trim off until you have loosened the two nuts on each piec. You will destroy the trim, and damage the sheet metal of your truck.
