88-98 tailgate Band on 67-72 ? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

jondancer · 01-15-2012, 09:28 PM

Anyone have an 88-98 "Chevrolet" tailgate band on a 67-72 Truck? I have a picture of one on our trucks but can't upload it . I kind of like the way it looks. Fits great. Anyone else have pics of try this?
Thanks

Honestly, I'm glad someone likes 'em. When I had my '96 Silverado, I was jealous of the '97-98's that did not have the band you asked about. So, I sold the truck. My '96 GMC doesn't have that wide band, and that's fine with me.

If you like the look, go for it.

jondancer · 01-15-2012, 10:34 PM

Why would you sell the truck because of a stick on tailgate band? You should of just removed the band.
But I'm looking to see them on a 67-72 c10

It's an old post and I had not noticed that someone had dinged me on my replay. But, just so nobody thinks I'm stupid....I traded off that Silverado, along with a CRV and got a Tundra....which became the trading material that got me my '96 GMC and some boot to play with, 5 years later. Hey, it's all good!

I'd have to agree that I like the original tailgate lettering too. But it's not bad with trim. Kind of cool I guess.

That does look pretty good

MARKDTN · 01-16-2012, 11:58 AM

My initial impression is that I don't like it, but would have to see it in person to be sure. It just looks a little too big in proportion in that photo. My .02

big_al_71 · 01-16-2012, 12:17 PM

It does not look too bad ....

1972RedNeck · 01-16-2012, 08:20 PM

Did they have those on GMC's too?

jondancer · 02-29-2012, 11:25 PM

They did have these on gmc's as well. I think it looks good just not as good as original. It really reminds me of a newer truck.

jeffg1010 · 02-29-2012, 11:39 PM

I'd love to see some up close high resolution shots, but from this angle I think I really like it. Especially for a daily driver. The average person would think it was period correct.

808_67C10 · 03-01-2012, 12:55 PM

Thats cool. I am working on the opposite, putting the 67-72 CHEVROLET stamp section on my 93 tailgate (the orig 69 tailgate I have was rusting so... cut out the stamped letter section) .... Keep it old school!

I like it, how do you install it?

67ChevyRedneck · 11-03-2012, 11:05 PM

This was a truck I saw for sale years ago. Wish I had bought it, it was as nice in person as it is in pics. I think this was around 2006 and I thought the 6K they were asking was crazy for a longbed

With a drop, correct rear bumper, and some cool wheels I would have had a bad azz truck.

I have no clue how it was attached... double sided tape?

Square_78 · 11-04-2012, 07:53 AM

Looks not too bad. I would need to see it up close to see how it sits on the tailgate. Interesting idea tho.

Andy4639 · 11-04-2012, 08:00 AM

I think it would depend on the color and chrome on the truck. Both look OK in the pictures though but I don't think the one Jesse posted would llook right on the one jondancer posted are the other way around.

71K20chevy · 11-04-2012, 08:23 AM

Strange! I pulled one off a GMC tailgate, and couldn't figure out where it came from. Guess I know now!

71sierragrande · 11-04-2012, 09:25 AM

Its ok, but I just think it looks too modern for a 67-72.

**Boog** · 11-04-2012, 09:33 AM

Well it gives the rear a different look. Subtle and unnoticeable to some but to others it's a nice change. Props to the one who first tried it.

69GWC · 11-04-2012, 09:46 AM

But how much cheaper is that to buy then the trim piece that does go there? I think it looks nice but the factory strip looks much better.
