I'll double check, but I don't recall seeing a stamp on the original bar, I did strip them. Maybe the old are Bailey with or with a tag. From one opinion, newer GM Baileys are square on top like the rest of the bar, while originals are cut 45ish. And yeah to the trained eye you'll see it, but it's not the worst thing. Old is always better seems. For instance, I like rivets better on original spot mirrors. Been a while since I've pulled them out, I remember the rivet was better and/or workmanship.

By "original" do you mean the ones that were installed on the truck at the factory...as in a "used" channel? I have some used ones and they have the Bailey inscription. If you have some NOS ones with p/n 15662134, I would definitely appreciate you seeing whether or not it has the Bailey inscription.

Thanks Accelo. What part number is on the packaging?





My question ultimately is does anyone have p/n 15662134 with the Bailey inscription? I bought some 15662134 parts described as NOS but wondering if they may have been swapped with some repro's, as they don't have the Bailey inscription.

I'm not sure which part number came first...3936809 or 15662134. I've seen some used ones with the Bailey inscription and every 3936809 part I've seen has had the inscription....so maybe 15662134 was a later run by a different vendor?
