Re: side trim removal
There are nuts that hold the trim clips on. Just remove the nuts.

Re: side trim removal
muskrat2000,
The trim on the bed and hood is pretty easy since the nuts are easily accessed. The door trim nuts are accessed by removing the door panel covers. The gas tank has to be removed to get to the cab corner nuts and the cowl trim nuts are accessed by removing the lower kick panel vent assemblies. I'll be putting mine back on in a few days and its a pain........ Take your time and use penetrating oil when needed.

Re: side trim removal
I see no reason to remove the gas tank. The gas filler and hose on driver's side will need to be removed, but the gas tank should present no problem.

all of the trim does not have nuts on the backside, some have the square holders that pop into the holes in the metal, not sure if this is only on the skinny trim (63-64)

Re: side trim removal
AFAIK, only the early models. Hardest ones are the cowl retainers, especially since I'm large and clumsy! They are not that bad if you don't mind some skin abrasions.
