Side Moldings

I've never messed with the side moldings off of a '77-'79 truck and I need to take some off of another truck to put them on mine and I was wondering if someone could explain to me the correct way to take them off so that I dont damage them?

Thanks

Most of the trim is bolted on each end. Find these bolts and take the nuts off. Then push up on the trim with your thumb while carefully prying on the opposite side of the trim with a putty knife inserted between the trim and the body. It should pop off easily. If you don't want to scratch your paint, tape the edge of your putty knife.

First of all, it will help if we know which moldings you are talking about? does it have race track moldings or just the molding in the dent?
