If you plan on installing the trim, leave them! No trim, then weld them and grind and flapper disk the welds flat...

Re: 72 do I leave the trim holes ?
Leave them and dry-run to ensure they're right, which they probably are. Generally you begin alignment for the uppers at the door, then fender and door, followed by cab and bed.
Lowers are more straight forward, their tops should fall 4/10" below the body line.
