Does anyone have any info on the specs for installing Body side moldings. Placement measurments etc. Any help would be great.
As a matter of fact I do! (That's **** me, haha)
Before I took mine off I made a few key measurements in case I decided to put them back on. (I never did).
With the car sitting at stock height in my garage I made these measurements using a yardstick from the ground to the center line of the large BSM (the one that affixes to the door).
At the rear (trailing end) of the BSM it measured 21 3/8" from the ground to the centerline of the BSM. At the leading end (widest end) the centerline was 19 1/16" above the ground.
The front edge (perpendicular to the ground) of the BSM was 1 7/16" back from the leading edge of the door.
I didn't measure the smaller BSM piece because I figured if I got the door piece in place properly it would be easy enough to eyeball the location of the smaller piece.
Hope that helped!

PS I've been waiting for someone to ask this question, haha....
Thanks Guys for the info. I know I Know there are alot of people that dont link them but they do serve a purpose.

Thanks Dave it looks like I wont be comming down I could not get Tims truck to pick up the wheels so I just had tham shipped.
