Are the external B pillar trim pieces held on by anything but the push pins or do they have something holding them on from the inside of the cab?Thanks.BJ

regular cab? The black trim that is on the side - Its held on with 2 nuts . thru the cab you'll see a round plastic cover pop that off and you need a deep socket and extention . they'll come off the bolts are pretty long -- But they'll come out .

10 mm and it needs to be LONG.

Both bolts can be accessed from the same hole in the cab interior trim piece?? A long 10mm socket or a deep 10mm socket with a long extension?Thanks. BJ

Bump.No round plastic cover on the inside trim panels except at the very top and they are so far up that they appear to only hpld the top of the inside trim panel on.Mytruck is 92 reg cab short bed LX. Any other suggestions what is holding the B pillar trim on from the inside - if anything?BJ

if you look where the seatbelts come down the middle of the cab wall .. Pull the seat belt to the side you'll see them - there's one just below where the eat belt holder bolts in .. and a little further down (use the outside body line as your reference it won't be any further down then that. you'll see them .. the cab wall on the sides are double walled . u may not have any caps over these bolt s. IF You see a whole in the wall look thru them you'll see the bolts . Theres really not that many holes like that on the cab inside walls . So you should be able to find em in couple mins.

OK thanks.I tried to find them last nite in not so good lighting so tonight after work I will get my trouble light and have another look.They must fit real close on that panel cause they sure aint obvious to my old eyes. Thanks again.BJ
