I was wondering if there is anyway to get the trash out of the cowl on my 79. It sat for a while under some pine trees before I rescued it.

I am also curious about removing the aluminum trim pieces without destroying them.....is there a tool just right for this job?

 

I would also like to know how this is done as I dont see how you get this trash out of there, so I do hope someone lets us know. Thanks for posting question.

Air hose with a blow nozzle on the end of it.

For the big bits, crush them with something that fits through the grates.

 

After you move them to the ends they should fall to the ground.

 

how do you get the trim off ?

Edit from Other post :

How would a guy go about taking off his trim that starts at the front parking light anvd gos all the way back? the stuff i'm talking about is a chrome piece with just black rubber or plastic going through it, don't know how to explain it, and i'v looked in magazines and trying to buy new, i can't decide wether its stleside molding or race track,. can you help me?
i have a 1979 f-250 4x4 ranger.

 

Do you mean the chrome with rubber trim inset ,that runs down the sides?

There are acorn nuts at the each end of each piece of chrome.

The back nut is accessed behind the tail-light.

I can take usually them off with my fingertips.

If they don't work, I use a putty knife and a thin cloth to avoid scratching the paint.

 

ok, so when i take off my parking light lense there should be a lil acorn nut ? and in my *** magazine i'm trying to order new , and it has 2 differnt kinds syleside and race track. one of them is for 73-79 and the other is only for 77-79. wich do i have?

 

I thought you were trying to take it OFF .
Now you mention buying it.

Which one is it ?

Edit: I realized you probably want to replace the stuff you have.

Doh!

The Race track chrome is for two-tone painted trucks. The chrome seperates the colours.



The upper chrome for these is what I was describing, taking off.

I sent you an E-mail.

 

I have the same truck basically, I believe it is referred to as Race molding.

 

i am wondering about both. for my restoration project my 79
f-250 has the original trim for the 2 tone paint , so thats the top trim and the bottom. i tore the bottom off since am repainting the color all blue. so i won't be needing it. and i was wondering , if i could just buy some more of the race track molding for my new bed wich doesn't have any trim at all. or should i buy all new stylside molding because the stylsides were for one color. i'm kinda confused about the difference still between styleside race track and styleside molding help please

 

those pictures you out up, are those the differnt kinds of moldings, the first one was race track and the 2nd red truck had just styleside on it?

 

That's correct !

Top one is called the Racetrack.
The ends are different because they finish differently.


The botton one is the other.

 

ok got yea, so for my new 1 color paint job i need to buy syleside.
so i have to buy a whole kit, thats realy expensive brand new. cause right now i guess i have the race track
i emailed you dennis, the names jake

 

nd thats both sides right, passenger and driver? its a dumb question yea i know

 

What is both sides ?

If it is personal as per the e-mail don't post it here.
