What size hole?

I was out drilling holes for molding in my truck here tonight, when I got to the cab corners. They have these little triangular shaped clips which snap into the cab`s corner to hold the chrome on. Now I was wondering what size hole should I put into the cab to mount them. Thanks

Two diifferent sized clips...it depends on what mouldings the truck has.

With or without black vinyl inserts?

It has the black vinyl inserts and then it also has the rocker panel molding.
