Which tailgate trim should I use?
I have two tailgate trims...I have one from an 80's Silverado (The big shiny kind with the CHEVROLET raised letters on the passenger side), and I have the original 75 Cheyenne one (just covers the middle of the gate, and has CHEVROLET embossed in black).

Neither here too.
I kept the "CHEVROLET" script, but lost the handle. ![]()

If you like the Silverado trim piece but want something a little different try this. Get a Blazer piece (no handle cut out) and flip your tailgate handle. If you buy a new one it doesn't have the holes for the "Chevrolet" letters in it....

I know I'm being picky here but this isn't an 80's one. Its from a Silverado from the 70's.
This is what the 80's ones look like. ![]() |

I love this look.
![]() That's what I plan on using with a flipped handle on my 86, bumper and all. I will use one from a blazer that still has the Chevrolet on it.

I agree Joe, that looks good. Ken has pics of a black truck with a similar setup.

Ok, by 80's I meant 81-87 and by 70's I meant 73-80.

If you end up wanting to get rid of that 75 Cheyenne Tailgate trim tell me I want first dibs. I'm going to restore my truck to look like N2TRUX. :p |

I like the idea of the blazer band but I would rather have the 70's version without the black outline. That would look the best in my opinion. I want to flip the handle too.

i prefer no trim at all (like bigblock's pic above), theres none on my 76GMC and it looks damn good as is, i think the trim pieces distract the attention from the rest of the ass end like the bumper, chrome tips, etc
