Re: What are the tailgate top edge protector options??
I installed a '73 and newer diamond tread plate style on my '71 tailgate. The '73 and newer 'gates are a bit thicker so I had to "spread" the metal a bit to make it fit. Worked out well and looks good. I looked at the smooth stainless protector and it just looked "to plain" Fastened it down with 4 or 5 self tapping screws.

I had a polished stainless steel tailgate edge protector on my truck that the previous owner put on and I took it off, if anybody wants it they can have it for the freight charge.

I have the polished stainless one from PUTCO. My dad has the 4 piece kit from LMC on his bed.
