have you tried taking yours to a chrome shop to get them straight and polished? I was quoted 120 bucks to do all my trim on my 81 a while back. It's a lot cheaper than buying new plus nothing fits better than OG parts

Good suggestion, taking them to be chromed/polished, I will shop around. If you want to buy them try Dixie Monte Carlo they have originals, more $ than you want to spend or reproductions.
To take them off the one over the top has two screws at the ends some have one in the middle, the corners and tailgate have screws, the long ones snap on.
It is so hard to put them on without nicking your new paint job, I just did lucky I have touch up paint.
