Chevy didn't change their stepside tailgate from the late '30s thru '87, IIRC.

If LMC's Chinese graphics 'artists' goofed the style, you could send them back and paint the letters in. Mine's done that way -- factory or PO, I don't know.
Prep the surface. Mask off the tailgate, except for the embossed C H E V R O L E T letters, fine trim your painting surface with an Exacto blade, and shoot it with your color [White, in my case].
No decals. Lasts a long time.
