What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter

[DT1]

Just finished redoing my tailgate band. This time I used 3M woodgrain vinyl wrap instead of the tape available from the classic truck sites. It's simple to apply and lasts much longer.

That looks really good.

Looks good, I used the tape from one of the truck places and it bubbled up and shrank and it's not out in the weather much. Where did you fine the 3M wrap?

Thanks, so you cut it to fit? Does it match the original grain and match lower side moulding? Maybe we'll see you around, looks like you have another 67'-72'. We usually go to the inliners show in Minden and misc. shows around Reno- Carson City area.

Just cut it with a razor knife and straight edge. It's a lot easier to apply than the adhesive tape and is suppose to last longer. It's also a very close match to the repop tape. So close that it doesn't bother me at all.
I have a new, 3" wide roll of the repop stuff for the tailgate band and some for the side molding if you want it or know anyone that does, I'll let it go for free.
