The 80s plastic molding comes with 3m sticky tape already on it.

I used 3M tape for my badges 10 years ago, they are still holding strong.

You can get the factory style clips and use sheet metal screws to attach them to the back of your cab. Drill the holes for the corner moldings...

Yes. I was thinking side moldings when I posted. But the Op hasn’t been back to his thread to confirm.
When I put the rear cab band on the 86 (weird it was a fully loaded truck with about every option except that piece), I thought about trying to stick the clips on with vhb tape. But decided I didn’t want to test my theory and just drilled the holes.

They make special trim screw you can use to put the molding clips on if you desire to go that route. They would take the place of the little posts. Same as for windshield molding. You can get them on ebay cheap.
