You cannot remove the side aluminum strips on a 77 very easily as they are a structural welded and bonded part of the side behind the smc cock pit and ahead of the smc end cap.

Hello,
"Later versions (77 -78) had slots on the top and bottom of the extrusion that the aluminum sheet and fiberglass panels would slip into. I GUESS that the panels were glued in and didn't need pop rivets."
How would that affect taking the alum strips off on a 77 ???.
Are they screwed on, or glued ???. After finding out some are different then, don't want no surprises, when i reseal behind those.
cheers and beers

G'day,
I think we're getting parts confused here!
Ref Parts Book 78Z
Page 23-15
Figure 23.026 Panels and Framing - LH Side
Key 27 - BEAM - belt rail, LH side longitudinal (eff. w/Serial No. 6V100878)
This is the extrusion that the aluminum upper and fiberglass lower panel attach to. You can't remove it on any year coach it is a
structural member.
Page 23-92
Figure 23.130 Moulding - Body Side (First Design)
Page 23-95
Figure 23.130H Moulding - Body Side (Second Design0
These are the OEM trim pieces that Gary replaced.
Regards,
Rob M.
