dent side trim ?

[gbrett]

does dent side trim just pop off I need to take some off my 79 bronco for paint

i would think it would be held on with the same plastic clips that ours are. you know those white clips.

the clips on my 70 have nuts on the back side I can't really get to the back side on the bronco

Each end of each piece of trim should be held on with a nut...and the middle of the trim should snap onto those plastic clips. The trim would've been one of the last things to be installed at the factory, so if the factory got to those nuts to install them, you should be able to get to them to uninstall them. You just have to find the right spot. With our trucks, the bedside trim ends are accessible through small holes in the inner bed sides (inside the bed) which are then plugged with rubber body plugs. I'd imagine your Bronco might be set up the same way.

found the nuts thanks someone sectioned everything below the upper trim from the drivers door back and the paint didn't hold up so i am repainting I will have to ask the po what happened to have to change that much sheet metal

Here is a page from the lmc catalog that shows exactly where they use each style of clip on the trucks and broncos.
