How do you get the body side molding rub strip, the black part, off of a 1974? It appears to be held on by a metal retainer strip and if I attempt to pull it off it starts to bend the retainer strip. Does it slide off (forwards or backwards) or is there another trick?

Thanks, that answers my question. The MM didn't address this at all. The Parts book gave some hints in the descriptions of the early and later strips on '73 & '74's. A Tech Bulletin gave some more hints.
I didn't wanna try jerking on it to slide it out if that was not how it came out. I'll go tug on it.
The earlier system did not use a metal retaining strip but used double sided tape, as George described, to retain the black rub strip. Between the parts book and the Tech bulletin it can be determined how the strip is retained.

I took some pictures of this today after I pulled the "rub rail" out of the moulding. It came out easily. I hope it goes back in as easily.

I pulled this so I could put in the screws to fix the "chipmunk cheeks". The 3M 5200 held on one side of the GMC but not on the other. I'm gonna put a reinforcing angle on the inside to pull in the sides. Photos will get posted when I get it done.

Thank You
I'll call Jim K.
All I saw was a full kit on Jim K's site.
I only need the bumper for one side.
