On the long, upper bed moldings I will use 3M (thin) tape on the center clips to stick that to the bed...except for the front and rear hole mount points.

That said, to put some of this stuff back on requires me loosening and almost completely dropping the front, inner fenders to get the access from behind.
This includes the side 'Custom 10/Deluxe' emblems, etc.
I have removed the inner door panels to allow inside/back access to the door moldings so hopefully those ones will go relatively quickly.

Most of the original moldings were in really nice, straight, bright shape so I will be re-using them. However a couple were 'dinged' a bit so those will be replaced with new ones.

Not exactly an easy operation....but hey, I'll try go put on 2 or 3 every couple of days and see how it goes....patience will be 'key' here, lol.

Coley,

You might consider what I did on the '72 GMC when I put it back together....
