Removing trim?
I have a 1968 f250 custom cab, that some time in the near future is going to get a new coat of paint and a few replacement parts. It has all of the original aluminum trim and it is in very good shape.
The trim along the sides is what I am most worried about, but there is also trim around the windshield as well, neither of which I know how to remove without damaging. Any help?
Thanks
Jesse

Hi Jesse and welcome to 
Don't mess with the trim around the windshield, if it's in good shape just leave it and mask. The trim goes in the rubber before you put the windshield in and it's a real pita, jmo.

The second owner had given up on it because it didn't seem to have the power it used to and after sinking $1500 into the front suspension, didn't want to spend any more on it. It was a slug driving home, but once home a timing light showed zero advance. A wrench and a twist and it would smoke the tires on demand.
Since I need to take most of the clip and cab apart to replace parts and paint it, I'll probably remove all the glass too. then paint everything. I'm not so much worried about the window chrome as I am the side trim, but that doesn't sound too bad. I guess I'll see when I take it out as to if I put it back in.
I still haven't decided what color, but was thinking bright red, or red and white.
