Removing side trim on '72

How do I remove the side trim along the bottom on the sides of my '72 f100. What I mean is the hidden plastic clips on the inside that you have to rotate. Is there a special tool for this?

Thanks

I just took the rocker panel trim off mine. On the back side of the trim are nuts, I think they are 3/8", just take them off and the trim pulls right off the body.

Like Goose said...find the nuts on the back side of the sheetmetal and remove them and the trim and clips will come right off. Finding the nuts in some areas of the truck can be tricky so be patient when looking....if the trim is beat to heck ( like mine was ) just yank it off and throw it away!
