Race Track Trim

[78F250]

I know of a rusted out bed that has race track trim. I'm thinking about snagging it. Does it just pop off?

no, at each end there are spring keepers/trim attachments that are best removed by removing the nut that holds them on.

the center section snaps off

The center section where all the "A's" are that go in the dent? The rest looks like it could take some time to remove.

Its not hard at all to remove. Just look at the backside of the inner fenders and remove all the nuts that hold it on and the rest just unsnaps out of the keepers.

A's on one diagram.

C's in another.

Getting the trim off the bed may be easier, but getting it off the front clip looks like you'd be better off removing the fender to get at the inner nuts. PITA
This trim would be a painter's nitemare to R and R, unless he just taped it off and left it, which probably happens a lot.

The trim is fairly easy to remove but there are a couple places that are a pain. Right above the wheel wells in the rear and the very front of the fender trim. The rest is pretty easy to get too. When I replaced mine, I'm glad I cut out the inner fenders, cuz putting it back was way easier. And also, talk about being a pain, try drilling out all the holes for this trim.

also the nut on the front fender trim [need to open the cab door] they are also 11/32 and any truck i had painted i had to remove my self as the body man didnt want any thing to do with the trim

The bed already has the holes. I may just forget the whole thing. I have enough to do with replacing the bed and possibly new paint.
