Tailgate trim options
 

Can anyone tell me what trucks/trim levels got the piece of lower tailgate trim for 69-72?

Re: Tailgate trim options
 

CST in 69/70, and cheyanne and supers in 71/72

Re: Tailgate trim options
 

The small chrome strip at the bottom? I know the CSTs and Cheyennes got the wide band, but I haven't seen many with the small chrome strip.

woah!
I didn't even see that down there. My bad.
I honestly dont recall ever seeing that, nor reading about it.

Re: Tailgate trim options
 

I bought a tailgate with this trim:

It looks to be original paint and it doesn't appear to have ever had the center band?

Was this used on CST/Cheyennes or is it maybe a 67/68 CST tailagate?

Re: Tailgate trim options
 

It is used only on 69-72's with the upper and lower moulding option ordered and with or without the deluxe tutone paint on the base model Custom and Custom Deluxe. With the Cheyenne, CST, or Cheyenne Super model, the wide tailgate band was part of the trim pkg and they left the narrow bottom strip off. But I have seen a true factory tutone paint Cheyenne truck with this installed with the wide band and assumed it was a factory error.

My C10 has the lower trim on the gate but no band.

I believe the only way to get the upper, woodgrain band, and lower was a cst blazer only. Just the upper and lower could be had on a 70 c-10 as long as the trim was orderd.

My '69 Beater truck came with it, but its gone now. I always thought all '69 - up trucks with tail light trim got it, but maybe I'm wrong. All of mine do including a '71 Cheyenne and a '69 CST that I have.

Re: Tailgate trim options
 

I stand corrected. I went out and double checked that '69 CST and it does not have it. It had the tailgate band and lower trim. It was not a two tone truck, but it does have factory paint so I know it came that way. You learn something everyday, I guess!

Re: Tailgate trim options
 

:agree:Thats the only way I know of also It looks like in the upper photo the latch chrome is loose and in the wrong .spot Part number 3897678

Re: Tailgate trim options
 

So did I put mine on wrong? I thought it was the upper trim!

Nice job kevin. Most people won't even notice what you have done there...

Re: Tailgate trim options
 

69/70 Customs and 71/72 CustomDeluxes got it.All of them.
A 69/70 C got it with the side moulding and 71/72 Customs did,too.

Re: Tailgate trim options

Re: Tailgate trim options
 

That's good info, thanks everybody! Cool idea rokcrln!

Re: Tailgate trim options
 

Looks great Kev. I bet even diehard truck people would miss that at first glance.

Re: Tailgate trim options
 

The trucks that got the tailgate band didn`t get the lower moulding.

Re: Tailgate trim options

When they start looking for the handle to open the gate, they'll get the joke.:lol:
Nice mod, looks pretty cool.

Re: Tailgate trim options
 

so the answer is that the first picture is wrong because the bottom trim is with the band then? I have a NOS band for sale and someone was asking the same questions that this thread had...

Rokcrln, that is sweat... great idea...
