When you are all done, can I bring down my truck and have you do the work on mine?!? :)

You're going at this much further than I ever expected!

mocking up the moldings before final seal coat and then finally some paint over the weekend hopefully!

This is interesting... I don't think I've seen that trim used only for the lower trim line, especially a 81-91. White cab, white lower, yellow in the middle?

that's funny, i typed out exactly what I'm doing then erased it all not to ruin the surprise for you! lol yes i couldn't see putting those rubber moldings on instead of these earlier model ones not running the upper moldings just the lowers the clips they give you to install these from LMC are way too big we found some smaller ones and it worked out great took forever to get them just right!

Surprise it is then! Cool. I like the idea for the trim. Matches the wheel-well moulding too.
