Starting on the lower trim, front to back:

Remove bumper-3/4" socket/box end wrenches,
Phillips screw driver and 3/8" socket is needed for front lower
piece

Rear front fender lower, 3/8" socket, 1/2" socket, and 9/16"
socket, (need to remove 5-6 bolts holding fender liner and
pull fender away from body to get at nuts, (2)

Lower door chrome, two 3/8" nuts, one at each end, fender
in the way of the front one, release spring on clip and rotate
clip with bent knife, center clips are glue on and can be
removed with a putty knife.

Lower cab, remove gas tank using 1/2" socket and ratchet,
(2) 3/8" nuts hold trim on.

Lower bed, front, (4) 3/8" nuts hold trim on, posibility of
glue on clips in the middle.

Lower bed, rear (3) 3/8" nuts hold trim on possibly two glue on
clips. Two phillips screws at rear.

Upper chrome front fender, (7) 3/8" screws hold the chrome on.
I usually pull fenders for these fasteners.

Upper door chrome, phillips screw in front, 3/8" nut in rear,
could be push in clips or glue on clips in the middle, if push in
clips, release clips and turn.

Upper cab chrome, (2) 3/8" nuts can be gotten to on right
side, left side, tank has to be out.

Upper bed chrome, the end clips are push in, release and turn,
middle clips can be either push in or glue on.

Good luck!
