Not really, the little studs are basically spot welded to the sheetmetal. If you want to get rid of the trim, you'll need to grind the studs down.

well looks like i need to brake out the grinder and i will consider selling them but they do need to be cleaned up. i think the only pieces missing are the 2 going around the back of the cab

Is there a market for the "racetrack" trim if it's in good shape?
Have a 78 F150 parts truck with all but a few pieces in pretty good shape.
Some of the lower trim on the passenger side of the bed is shot
If someone wants the trim and can explain how to get it off safely, maybe we can work a deal? Any links out there for trim removal tips?
Thanks,

Most of the trim is bolted on each end. Remove these nuts then start on one end and carefully pry under the trim with a putty knife and they should pop right off without damage. Sometimes I push up on the trim with my thumb while prying on the opposite side with a putty knife.
