What trim level is required for the "fancy" tailgate?
I really prefer the tailgate with the fake woodgrain and the GMC letters rather than the big GMC embossed right into the steel (just a personal preference).
In GMCs, what trim level do you have to get in order to have that and what year did it start? For a while I thought its had to be a Sierra, but I've seen Sierras without it, and here's a 1971 1500 Custom with it: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/GREEN...item414dec347d So I'm a little confused on what's what...

Re: What trim level is required for the "fancy" tailgate?
I will take a guess at it. I am thinking 1970 for the gmcs to have that. (69 for the chevs) Would have the sierra or CST package. (or grande or super) The e-bay one i don't think is correct for that truck. It has the tail light chrome, but no matching parts on the gate. My guess is that is a chevy gate with a band on it...

Re: What trim level is required for the "fancy" tailgate?
The only trucks that should not have the upper and lower thin pieces of chrome were the solid color trucks. If the truck was a two standard (color with a white top) or deluxe (white, color, white, color) they got the upper and/or lower division trim- the lower should only be in place if the truck was not a sierra/grande or cheyenne/super (i.e deluxe or super deluxe).
