Re: 70s trim on 87?

If you do this, don't buy the entire 73 trim package. Skip the front fender trim piece, and use an additional bedside trim piece instead. This will follow the bodylines of the 87 a lot better.

One of the bigger questions, is what you're going to do at the front of the secondary color section, where it meets the grille. There were some differences in the way the 80's trucks handled this section. Some of them ran the color the entire way into the grille, and some had a simple paint transition about an inch back from the grille.
