Looks good, is it paint or vinal?

Doing that makes me want to pick one up out of the yard I was at.

Nice

[slinginrods]

just scuffed it and masked the edges and used krylon satin black

[GruntMoanCough]

Looks sharp, I like it.

I had thought about doing that to my tailgate panel about 5 years ago as it had a couple dings. I think it looks good on your truck.

first off, looks great. i can see the chevelle thing too! i love it!

if anyone hasn't heard of "bumper black" trim paint, this stuff is worth its weight in gold. it leaves a very nice finish and is the only way to do semi satin black! i think SEM makes the brand i use.

[HarleyHauler]

Looks good!

[Gordonr1973]

That drew my eyes to it right away! Cool!!

I like the truck's paint color too!

[mcboomport]

Looks awesome man! I totally see the chevelle thing as well!

Chevrolet actually did the black out rear tailgate panel from the factory on the 79-80 fleetsides with the "Chevy Sport" package....along with the body color bumper....vinyl ...p/n 14010713

I think it looks REALLY good. The stainless color panel looks like its an after thought thats just bolted in there. I like the stainless panels, dont get me wrong, but this looks like it belongs there. Very nice. Would look good on a black truck also I think. I might see if i can find one at the pick n pull.

actually looks very buickish........66 gs had the same set up.

i have a bunch of ss badges from various novas ,chevelles,and impalas ive owed and im thinkin of adding one.im thinking of adding a cowl hood with the proper badging from a chevelle as well.i also like the way chevy put the engine size badges on the fenders too.im thinkin a "what if" look.as if chevy wouldve built an SS short bed in the 60s or 70s.but minus the stripes(not many people know the stripes were not mandatory on an SS).this look would be killer on a 68-72 short bed as well.i also agree that the panel would look really good on a black truck.

That actually looks pretty good on your truck, much better than I would have thought!

[beamn7]

WOW! That is sharp lookin'! Good job!

[Your41Plague12]

That looks awesome! It needs an SS logo below the tailgate handle and you would nail it.
