Re: Rare 60-61 GM Stainless Paint Divider Trim History Wanted
I am going to put it back on the cab. There were some "challenges on this though...as you can see from the pic.
First, the radius in the corners on the GMC's may be different than the Chevy's. The pieces fit, but had gaps of about 3/8" around the corners. They just didn't fit all that great, especially on the drivers side.
In addition, the back of my cab had a bit of a sway inward and I didn't want stainless trim on a wavey panel.
So, I blocked off the cab, floated it with a straight edge and fabbed the corners just a bit to get a perfect fit.
The truck left yesterday for final spray and paint.
Oh...and regarding clips for these things, that's a whole other story.
When alls done...I like the trim as an accent piece and quiet frankly it's got a cool history to share with others thanks to you guys helping out.
