That last pic worked. So how'd u do this? Looks like u went w/ all GM pieces from wrecks & what not. Correct? Did u buy any new? Last I knew, it costs a SHITload to buy new GM pieces. What's involved? Is it welding on brkts or do u have to weld plastic somehow?

BTW, nice job.

Yea I have been collecting the cladding from wrecks for about 4 months and finally got the complete set. I have about $900 invested in the cladding and it was all used. New pieces from GM would have been about $2000 or so. If you get any cladding used make sure you get the mounting brackets because it makes it a lot easier to install. The brackets are originally riveted on the body but I used sheetmetal screws to mount it because it makes it easier to make the final adjustments. Top of the cladding just mounts using doublesided tape.Thanks for all the compliments guys.

I figured $2-3K. Sorry for the questions. I'm not familiar w/ seeing the backside of the cladding & its' attachment method(s).
-Do u have any pics on what these brkts look like?
-How many do u have to install?

It sounds like the brkts or standoffs are used to support cladding, & these tape just keeps em secure. Couldn't a person just use 2 side tape?

I hate the idea of welding all these brkts on the sides of my baby, but I know it's either go weld for GM. Or use an aftermarket kit.

There is about 8 brackets on the cab and 10 or so on the bed. the best way is to use screws or rivet the brackets to the truck. I dont have any pics of the brackets, sorry.

I found this pic, it shows part of the bracket for the door. All four doors are almost identical to this one. I hope this helps.
