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?

Re: Need a guy who refinishes aluminum trim bands on square bodies
Wow that looks really great . I was thinking of doing a aluminum wrap on my tailgate band to how it might look.

Re: Need a guy who refinishes aluminum trim bands on square bodies
That looks amazing. How much did that cost, and did he do anything else like the tailgate pieces?

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?

Re: Need a guy who refinishes aluminum trim bands on square bodies
No clear coat was used. After I polished and got the trim looking the way I wanted it, I know this is going to sound weird, but I wiped it down with Skin So Soft oil. It still looks like it did, the day I polished it. And that was 2 or 3 yrs ago. Now granted, my truck does stays in the garage.

Re: Need a guy who refinishes aluminum trim bands on square bodies
How often do you retreat it with the skin so soft or anything thing else?

Re: Need a guy who refinishes aluminum trim bands on square bodies
I only did it the one time. But the nice thing about using the Skin So Soft, it's not going to hurt anything. Some people use WD-40, it would give the same result.

Re: Need a guy who refinishes aluminum trim bands on square bodies
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.

Re: Need a guy who refinishes aluminum trim bands on square bodies
Yep there's overspray on the trim in a few places.
I live on the very humid salt-air FL gulf coast and I'm wondering if I don't have these reanodized and clear coated that they may tarnish up again. It will be kept in a garage but still driven around quite a bit. Maybe 5,000 or 6,000 mile per year as a second driver.
