Bo · 01-08-2003, 08:45 PM

Here's another

6772king · 01-08-2003, 08:59 PM

looks good, I think it looks just as good as a lettered tailgait and I'm shure it was a lot cheaper than a leterd gait

still w.i.p '68 · 01-08-2003, 09:06 PM

Bo, that really looks great, is the color that bright, or is it the flash from the camera, I live about 45min to 1hr from you,at lake fork, there is a show in Emory (the big town close to me) HAHA each sept, the same time as the Rains county fair, there were about 6 trucks like ours there this past year, you should try to make it next time

Lettered mine, too...2003 Silverado decal; you can get them in black or silver from your GM dealer for under $20.

Bo · 01-08-2003, 10:27 PM

I bought my letters from GMC Paul's. Think they were $8.

Project1970 · 01-08-2003, 10:48 PM

71k5, I like that...

Jwill41 · 01-08-2003, 11:01 PM

cool k5

Jwill41 · 01-08-2003, 11:03 PM

Bo, I like yours too. I may try that on mine.

weasel29gm · 01-09-2003, 12:03 AM

Both gates look great,like the 03 letters!!!!!!!!!

nate68 · 01-09-2003, 01:29 AM

you said non lettered, i clearly see letters. haha

toms68cst · 01-09-2003, 09:10 AM

Nice tricks!

nate68 · 01-09-2003, 02:34 PM

do you have a part # for that 2003 decal?

jmil1974 · 01-09-2003, 02:43 PM

LOVE those '03 letters! Wish I had a flat tailgate!

71k5 · 01-09-2003, 09:30 PM

I'll get the part numbers for the 2003 decals tomorrow and will try to post them tomorrow night...

weasel29gm · 01-10-2003, 12:03 AM

Bo, did you put on the decals before you painted the gate? Looks like it.

Bo · 01-10-2003, 11:41 AM

I painted the bottom of the tailgate white and then wet sanded it. Put down the letters and then painted the org. and then peeled the letters off and cleared the whole thing.

bobs409 · 01-10-2003, 01:40 PM

I got the non lettered El cheapo tailgate for my stepside and like it without the lettering. My plans were to add the stick on letters but I think I will keep mine this way.

By the way, for those Southerners, the white stuff in this pic is called Pa. snow! LOL (and it sucks!)

**guyryan100** · 01-10-2003, 01:46 PM

Bob, what is that strange, pastey white stuff in the bed of your truck and all over the ground? We've never seen anything like that down here!
