Need a guy who refinishes aluminum trim bands on square bodies
I used to have contact info for a guy who takes these, strips off the old anodized finish, makes repairs, and reanodizes them and clear coats them.
Can't find it now. It was pretty expensive but I think I've got enough interest in my 77 Cheyenne to call him up to get a quote. Anyone with a source for this work? |

Wow that looks really great . I was thinking of doing a aluminum wrap on my tailgate band to how it might look.

I used a nice couple in tx, that's what they do, restore chrome trim, there very popular among the Camaro/chevelle crowd. They polish it to a super shine, and hammer out any dings. Older coupe, and very friendly. They do an amazing job. Highly recommend them:metal:

Re: Need a guy who refinishes aluminum trim bands on square bodies
, Did you have to seal it with a clear coat or some other thing to keep the oxidation from coming back?

How often do you retreat it with the skin so soft or anything thing else?

Not trying to go off topic, but how do these mount on the cab?
|
Re: Need a guy who refinishes aluminum trim bands on square bodies
The corners have a stud on the back that get a speed nut. There would be a hole in the cab, then you put the speed nut on from inside the cab. Take the rear corner speaker off and you have to put your hand up the space behind the speaker.
The long rear trim slides unto clips that are attached to t-studs that are welded on the cab. I'll see if I can finds pics |

So on the long trim, LMC has the clips, and it appears that you just use a screw to attach to the rear of the cab. I'm pretty sure that when I had mine off, the clips were on T-studs. This is probably the way it came from the factory, but if you wanted to add the trim, you would use screws. |
Re: Need a guy who refinishes aluminum trim bands on square bodies
I just checked and they didn't remove the trim when the previous owner painted the truck. I'm not sure I want to do the project now since after the trim is straightened it might show where they masked it off.
I'll look at it again tomorrow. Sure was looking forward to some bright new trim. |

Well if you don't take it off, of course then you can't tap your little dings out. But that doesn't mean you still can't polish it up. Might not be as easy, having to climb in the back of the truck. But I would still give it a try. |
