The previous owner of my truck welded up the holes for the chrome molding on the drivers side of the truck, but not the passenger side. I would like to have the chrome back on the truck, but think it would be hard to find where the mounting holes were on the drivers side. So, my question has anyone ever tried the stick on chrome molding sold at parts stores? Or would that be ridiculously ghetto, and the best thing would be to weld up the other holes?
I do remember that the factory ASSEMBLY manual diagrams where the holes are located. ( I could be wrong, but the ASSEMBLY manual is a good one to have on your shelf anyway) Unless you plan on 28 inch dubs and stick-on Buick port holes, stay away from stick-on simulated trim... ;~) dv
Haha that was my 1st thought too!. I thought about just measuring the other side, or making a template out of cardboard, but if the holes aren't placed exactly right I'm screwed, so I'll find an assembly manual and do it right. I found the trim from a local guy, now I just have to find the holes
I thought the trim rested on the mounting clips. So my thinking is the holes in the middle don't have to be perfect but just in a straight line. The ends might have to be dead on.
I "think" drabo is correct. The mounting clips "might" slide in the trim piece so the exact location of the holes is not as important as how level the piece is to the rest of the body trim. dv
