How is cab color band located? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Getting ready to paint. But I want to add a band at back of cab that separates the top color from body just under rear glass.
I think it starts about 1/4 above the bottom of drip rail.
What I need is the size of each clip hole and how many holes and spacing from left side to right side.
If I buy a repro do they come with clips?

Just to be clear this is for my 68 C10.I forgot the paint body includes all truck on the board.

There should be 12 studs welded to the cab for the plastic clips which holds the molding. 1 close to the drip rail and 1 at the radius of the corner on each side of the cab and then 8 along the back side of the cab with the 2 middle a little closer then the rest of them.
