Answer me this.

Having a discussion on another board and trying to figure this out. I know this is a bad pic but this is what the person posted. What does this cab corner trim say. It is from a 1975 silverado poster.

It doesn't look like your typical corner trim.

Looks like a gold square with a bowtie in the center; best guess final answer.

Re: Answer me this.

My guess is there is a little black bow tie on top of that One off emblem. Never seen a wood grain version of these trucks. Bet it's got a wood bed too

Re: Answer me this.

Does look like a normal bowtie. I almost bought one with woodgrain it was a 74... It was too nice to cut up. Day after i went by and it was gone.

Re: Answer me this.

It does look like a bowtie on the trim but looks like there might be something on the bottom of the trim too below that.

How does that wood grain go on? Is it a decal and are they available?

Re: Answer me this.

Woodgrain is a big decal/overlay.

Here is the original photo, I'm guessing just a bad photo or perhaps it was a little label they put on it saying "photo shoot" or "silverado brochure truck" etc.

Re: Answer me this.

If Jeff shows up here he might have the same corner trim and have an answer.
