Thank you very much for making this video~ My truck had one piece missing (well, not missing, but off of the truck when I bought it), and it was that very same piece, on the same side~
Cool man! I got a 71 shortbox 4x4 custom. I generally don't worry about trim pieces to much but its good to see someone doing it. And I love the old ford you got there.
Ain't she a beauty. Although Orange is not a fav auto color for me it sure gives character to/looks cool on that old truck. Way to getter done and make her look nice👍
The trim is basically snapped into place onto the nylon clips. Start by sliding the bolt on clip into the trim piece and fasten it onto the bed at the cab. Some masking tape can be used to hold the opposite end. Set the trim on the top tabs of the nylon clips and then press the trim down over the bottom tabs. You may have to hit in the center of the trim with the heal of your hand to get it to flex and go over the tab. When the trim is snapped onto all the plastic clips, install the end trim piece with the screws. Easy Peasy . . LOL
When tackling a job like this, I try to figure out how they installed it while getting hundreds of these trucks through the assembly line in a day and without scratching the paint. Sliding wouldn't accomplish either of those. So it has to be installed by compressing the plastic "springs" (I think you said they were on the bottom of the clips) and popping the top edge of the trim over the top of the clips. The guys on the line could probably do it in about 10 seconds. Take care. Keep up the good work.
You have to do this with two people someone needs to hold the end of the trim in the 70s I used to do this all the time and it was not possible to do it by yourself without it taking days
Seems to me that this would be installed the same way as mounting a baseboard heater cover by hanging the top on the clips then pressing down sharply onto the bottom clips. I'm sure at the factory, two guys had that on in seconds. Got to get Duff some hands.
@@MortskeRepair one day right now still as I bought it , I was beautiful metallic brown and god with red striping in between colours with black topper but owner re painted it dark blue over the top of sun faded paint , but I am not a blue person I love yours orange , red and even yellow but not dark brown, so I am doing out of the body resto , I’ve got a 67 metal grille and a 72 F250 long bed same as yours Ranger XLT for donor truck , my truck is in Mississippi got get all the parts I need shipped over , yes I love your truck I am watching everything on 67-72 to get ideas , if you like my instagram is leandromachado91 if you find me there will show you my 67 Bumpside Bronco but she’s rough but she’s all there together. All the best your truck is beautiful I loooooooove the bright orange ❤️ thank you take care and much lucky with your Ranger XLT
I think that is one of the most common phrases heard out of mechanic's everywhere, "this is the stupidest design ever"! Or a variation of that. It's obvious engineers never work on the junk they design. Love your channel so far! You clearly have a weakness for old trucks like I do.
I'm guessing the suits upstairs in 1971 wanted to save a few bucks so they went from a time consuming, $0.10 clip with threaded hardware to a riveted on $0.05 plastic clip. And in doing so they basically made it a throw away design and not something that can be easily replaced later in life. Thanks again for watching!
There is a bolt on steel clip that goes on the front. Once you get that one started, just push the molding in , over the nylon clips, then secure the rear with the tail piece that fits over the light with four screws. Easy as pie!
Ahhh good to know! I couldn't find any info online with how to do it. Plus it didn't help that my trim was bent. So you start at the front of the bed and slide the trim towards the back of the bed?? Thanks for commenting Peter!
@@LeeBn66 I tried slipping it over the top lip of the tab and then over the bottom but there was no way it was going to go for me. Could have been the cheap clips. But more than likely it was the operator that had no idea what he was doing!
@@LeeBn66 hi,. Any idea on how to intall the side moulding on a 66-f100?. I got the trim and the clips, but my truck dont have the holes yet cuz my yruck did not come with trim from the factory, How do i make all the holes strait?? Thank you.
@@hectorortega9131 what you do is through the clips in the bed of the truck and buy a tube of sealant.turn the trim over and smear the sealant all over the back of the trim.then you push the trim against the side of the truck.then find a bit of wood to wedge against the trim and floor to hold the trim in place until the sealant goes off.use a level to make sure trim is straight if you want to be really anal about it.works every time.your welcome hector.👍
Way easier and way better method to mount that trim like that. Hopefully road salt accumulations won't rot it on the backside but if you spray some water up the underside every now and then she probably won't rust. Liking the old Pumkin Patch truck. Hope you rewarded yourself with a sammich.
This looks like a fairly decent truck. When did the program turn into locked up motor with a rust bucket around it. Only so many decent rigs up there I guess.
I have 72. Good to know. Why they did npt use the clip with stud for a nut is beyond me. You can reach up under fender and use a nut to hold them on. Your bottom trim has them. In front of rear tire, side of bed. Remove nut and trim comes right off.
The majority of the "clips" are riveted to the bedside. The front clip has a nut and the back of the trim is held in by the park like trim that is screwed in place. It's a real pain!
Yeah that's possible. Either way, it was a hassle when everything was new! And now with bent up parts, no idea what I'm doing, it'll be just fine this way. Thanks for watching!
Hahaha I think it just snaps on…😂 I originally thought it slid on too.
Mortske: "this ol truck is pretty nice..."
Also Mortske: "...this truck isn't that nice"

What a pain in the ass. Good job, you stuck with it to the end. A sandwich is in order. And it looks great.
Thanks much Kris!

I always thought that old trucks like this looked better without the trim.
Love the show

This is good news for you! Can’t wait to see what they do for a steering column for your car .. !!

Shoot, we need more hands around here!
I use windshield urethane for that stuff use masking tape to hold in place then pull tape off next day.

Trim I don't need no stinkin trim. Makes the whiskey dents show up more.
Done a fair bit of detailing in my day and putting the trim back on with new paint was my most dreaded job.
I'd quit my job the first day of that!

I think you clip it on from bottom to top. I think it's been a while since i messed with it.
That's where my train of thought went. Rock it on. Or flip, however you look at it.
We got a 1968 mercury pickup truck that was my great grandpa’s farm truck. Just got it running. Needs a bit of body work tho
I'd kill to find an old Mercury! OR at least the parts to convert a Ford into one. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Watching all your old videos. About 20 years ago a buddy of mine built one of them four-wheel-drive 460 4speed

I was looking for a young Duff. Seems like this video was a few years back.

Time for a ham and cheese😊
Pretty sure it you have it where it is supposed to go and then it snaps on, you dont slide it on.
At 17:41 woulda been funny if the trim fell off when you slapped the top of the bed 😂
No doubt!
@@MortskeRepair is that a F-100 or a F-250 ?????????
Is the punkin patch for sale ?
Nope
Dang i need that
Too bad Duff dog didn’t have apposable thumbs. He coulda helped you. Lol
He always uses that excuse!
That job would've been easier if Duff had thumbs and they call em bumpsides because if you bump the side the trim falls off
Where's Duff back in the day.
hes around
ah yeah what a time to cuss i would be throwin things lmao
We cut that part out!
I thought that stuff just clipped on. I guess I am wrong.
