trim removal
i have a 1985 ford f250 desiel, i need to know how to take off the exterior trim running along the cab , bed , and front end. i know to use a putty knife to get the initial trim off but is there any clips i should know about . and it seems to be kinda glued on so should i use any sort of solvent to get off the sticky stuff . and if i use a solvent which one wont take off the paint?

Slayment:
It is the trim that is just below the front side marker light and runs completely to the rear of the truck? Black w/ aluminum insert?. (4) pieces per side? Does one of the pieces that is on the door have a cut-out so it fits around the keyhole?
If this is what you have, then there are no mounting clips for this trim. (This is what I have on my 1985). It is al strictly the adhesion type moulding. Just go to my gallery and look at my 1985 Ford F-350. I have this trim NOS and am debating on putting it back on once I have the truck repainted.
