Re: 77 chevy truck tailgate band
Very hard to find. Try your local Craigslist?

Re: 77 chevy truck tailgate band
Does anyone have measurements/how to install the narrow band on a 77 tailgate? I have all the clips just can't find anything on where to drill the holes...

I can get the measurements from mine tomorrow afternoon. I'll post pictures as well, where the holes are drilled.

Re: 77 chevy truck tailgate band
Just to clarify, the narrow band you're after is the one with the 1-yr only* yellow paint in the recessed areas, correct?
* - excluding the special edition trucks of other years.

Re: 77 chevy truck tailgate band
Justin actually already has the tailgate band. He is just looking for the measurements to mount it.

Re: 77 chevy truck tailgate band
Justin, I don't know how nice your tailgate is but there is a good deal on a predrilled one on CL

Re: 77 chevy truck tailgate band
Mine is in very good shape so I'd prefer to keep it. I saw the one on CL you're talking about. Hopefully E.D.75GMC can post measurements and pics.

Re: 77 chevy truck tailgate band
If restoring a 77, how would one know if their truck came with a wide or narrow band?

Re: 77 chevy truck tailgate band
I am pretty sure Silverado was the only ones that came with a wide band. All lower models came with a narrow band if they had any band at all.

Re: 77 chevy truck tailgate band
My 75 High Sierra has the narrow band and the 76 High Sierra I bought for parts had the wide band. There's no RPO for it so I'm not sure how the factory went about deciding what got what

Re: 77 chevy truck tailgate band
On Chevy, Cheyenne was the only one to have a narrow band. Scottsdale, custom deluxe and bonanza had no band. Silverado had the wide one. Lots of people prefer the narrowband, so a lot of them get installed on other interior packages. Not sure about GMC, but I thought high Sierra was the equivalent of Cheyenne.

Re: 77 chevy truck tailgate band
The 76 High Sierra above has the 81 and newer wide band so it was probably added later. It should have came with the narrow band
