Re: help tailgate band
Those will not. But you have a rare one there with the yellow on it. You will need to change to a 70s tailgate and latch setup.

Re: help tailgate band
I believe the yellow is 77 only, hard to find.

Re: help tailgate band
That is a Cheyenne tailgate band for a 1977. They yellow/gold inay stripe was specific to 77, and the smaller size exclusive to the Cheyenne package.

Re: help tailgate band
You will have to find a tailgate from 80 on down, then it will fit no problem. and yes the tailgate will fit your truck mite have to get the whole set up off the older truck and put on yours

Re: help tailgate band
you need a 76-80 tailgate and yes it will bolt up. The 73-75 gate will work but you need the brackets off the bed.
