So my old girl is loosin her luster. The paint is startin to peal and shes startin to sho her age. So next spring its gettin painted. So i started by removing the molding. I cant believe the size of holes dodge drilled to hold this crap on. Its gettin filled and the molding is stayin off.

Can anyone tell me how to remove the tailgate molding piece. I dont want to ruin it it might go back on.

on the inside of the tailgate there are about 8 torx head screws as well a couple along the edge ,
comes off really easy

I never understood why they bolted some of it and taped the rest.

The only thing i can think of is those are the only pieces with bends in them. They were probably afraid the tape would come off. Are the emblems on the fenders taped also or are they bolted?

Mine are glue/taped on.

Had one emblem get loose and I found the glue/tape bond had failed here, and rust had come through there. Found one hole rusted through under it all. :cry:

So THAT'S what my '93 looked like with a nice paint job and rockers! :lol:

Have a few nice holes through the floor too. ~500k miles and counting.

The pass side is the roughest looking. Rockers gone on drivers side too, but no peeling paint really, and pretty straight. Not sure what all happened to the pass side. Can see that it was jack-knifed into a g/n at one time. They blew out the rear window in the process. Nice new one in there when I got it.
