I know these attach in the dent with clips that are retained by a rivet. Question. Where can the rivets be purchased and how are they attached? My truck has either had them cut off or never had them in the first place. I will be putting a lot of new panels on the truck before paint. So, how hard are the rivets to put on.

 

you can use standard 1/8 pop rivets you buy at the hardware store, use all alum rivets,ive done it many times. I think LMC, JBG, and others sell kits to install them.

My blue truck has new bed sides and I have had eyes on a rivet that holds the plastic clip on for the fwd bed race trac chrome, it looks like a reg regular rivet.

The rivet that holds the dent chrome plastic clips looks alot different. more like a stud, than a rivet.
