Re: cab trim

It takes the nail head thingys that are part of the cab. A plastic clip with a keyhole disign slides over them then the moulding snaps onto them. You can also by the clips and screw them in.

Re: cab trim

Does anyone know how to remove the paint divider without damage so it could be reused?

With patience and care.It`s held by small plastic clips.If you pop the trim on the side,you can slide it off.I use a chisel or putty knife and twist.Just watch closely to see if it`s giving and don`t force.Ask for a picture of where they are located so you have that advantage.

Re: cab trim

I'm leaving mine on because I'm thnking of replacing the chrome strip divider on my 68. It really doesn't detract from the looks.

If it was going to be a show type truck, I think it may be possible to simply clip them off with a strong wire/nail cutter and then gently grind them down.

I have one or two that broke off and they broke off cleanly and even with the cab...

Re: cab trim

If you do not originally have the trim on your truck you need
67-72 Cab Rear Paint Divider Screw Stud Set which screws into back of cab metal so that you can then use the
67-72 Cab Rear Paint Divider Clip Set to install the trim. You'll find both on the following page of our web site

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

Re: cab trim

My truck did not have the divider trim, and I used #10 screws to attach the plastic trim clips. It was GMCPaul that gave me the measurements of the screw locations. Worked out great...
