Okay it is pretty clear the narrow band will not work. The sunken area in the 81-87 tailgate where the band would go is not really wide enough for the band to sit flat (think left to right or drivers to pass side). Without severely bending the narrow band or cutting into the gate and modifying it, the easiest route is use an earlier tail gate. I have opted to use an earlier gate and will install after paint.
Now to resurrect the slightly damaged narrow band. Is it sinful to put a Chevrolet band over a GMC tailgate?
