Rear cab trim- installation questions when trim is missing

[Evans Ward]

The PO of my 87 Sierra Classic removed all of the rear cab stainless trim. I want to put it back on as I like that feature/ look. I found all of the the trim at the salvage yard but the long straight piece have a few too many dings for me to use. The GMC corner pieces are nice and only needed a red touch up. I'm looking at the repop piece LMC has- anyone here seen or used it? I will need to drill the hole for the corner molding stud/speed nut and will make a template. Does anyone have a good reference of how/ where to locate all of the trim? I could also use a pic of rear clip spacing for the long piece. How many clips needed? I'll use small stainless screws. Has anyone taken this project on before?
