WTB.... Factory metal tailgate trim 81 up
 
We are repainting a buddies truck. It's an 84 and on the tailgate below the trim panel, is the small chrome trim that matches the side trim but it is metal. We're looking for one in fairly good condition.

My 34k mile 1985 has a metal tailgate molding, but it's the one with the black center

Truthfully I have never realized that they did a metal one. This truck is a true 40k 1984 K10. The previous owner had all kinds of outer space stuff painted on the doors and tailgate, main reason for the re-paint.

I have the metal tailgate trim on my 87. i do remember when we restored the truck 15 years ago everybody thought that piece on the gate was just part of the roll of side trim. nobody knew it was metal.

I lucked out and my bed came with a good piece. I've been out of the 81+ stuff since I'm focusing on a 79 for my dad now, but last i knew nobody repopped that piece

Ya, was figuring that there wasn't anyone repopping it. Hoping that someone has one laying around.

I just may have one or two....I'll check and get back-I was under the impression it was 81/82 Silverado exterior trim option.

Hi Jeff, I just saw this. I'll ask him tomorrow about it. What kind of price are you looking for?

Those are definitely hard to find. I have one that is nearly flawless mysef-just have to figure out what type of adhesive tabs to use on it-NOS ones had them on but Im sure they arent available seperately.
