Removing the trims pieces?

I just got a '69 Ranger SWB. It has all of it's trim strips on it now. I need to paint the whole truck though as I am going with a slightly different color than the original dark rust red. How do I get the trim strips off?

FTE admin-
I realized I placed this thread here instead of Misc- paint and body. I rewrote it there.

Hi Jon - welcome to FTE.

I actually think its best to have your question regarding trim removal in both forums, especially in this one. You'll probably get your answer quicker here.

Definately come see us in the Paint & Bodywork Forum with all your painting questions though.

If your truck is anything like mine they should come off easily as the plastic clips that hold them on usually dry rot after 15 yrs or so
