i need your opinion
 

hey guys, i just got a new tailgate to replace the one i ran over (tried to straiten it:banghead:) but thats another story. the one i got for my 79 is the newer style 81-87, and it has a tailgate band on it. my 79 is all shaved, no mirrors, no door handles, no locks, no lamp lences, no gas doors, no drip rails, nothin that isnt needed. so idk if i should keep it and get rid of the chevy emblem on it, or just take the band off and just roll with that. any opinions?

Re: i need your opinion
 

get out your gilette and shave that sucker so it matches your truck

Re: i need your opinion
 

:agree:
And if you already have all that shaved,,, You should goo all the way.

Re: i need your opinion
 

ok so i got the band off, and was wandering how i can fill the holes where the chevy emblem goes? what do i need to use to make it look like it was factory?

Re: i need your opinion
 

are you keeping the band and just removing the emblem? or deleting the band altogether?

Re: i need your opinion
 

well i was gonna get rid of the entire thing, but it has 4 hole in the tailgate where it bolts in, so i think i might keep it. so i decided to shave the emblem on it, but dont know how to fill the holes in band where it bolts on

if you take the band off you will need to weld the holes, the band is bit harder to fill the holes as its brushed aluminium.

Yeah, just mig the holes up then grind em smooth.
