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.
Hi '68 Orange,

My plan was to paint the letters. I was going to spray the letter area white then carefully place the decals over the painted letters, spray the tailgate blue then remove the decals. The letters were to be used as masking.

Anyone with a stepside, look at your "E" and see if the fingers are rounded or squared.
See pics below. The p/n I ordered said "67-72"
