I have a fleetside but I don't know what you mean by "tailgate band"

Oh I see what your talking about, no band on mine. Sorry.

68 50th · 03-31-2007, 05:03 AM

Here's a pic of mine and one from the assembly manual.
From top of tailgate band to edge of recessed area of tailgate: 20 millimeters/.79 inch.
From bottom of tailgate band to bottom edge of tailgate: 40 millimeters/1.57 inch.
Hope it helps.

Looking closely it seems like the tailgate band on mine maybe sits a little too low.
My tailgate did not originally have the tailgate band, it is actually a GMC stamped tailgate and the PO who put the tailgate band on centered it over the stamped area and maybe that is not the correct location.
I hope someone else with an originally mounted tailgate band could measure the correct location.

This is an old shot.They broke up a couple years ago.I hear the guitar player started a new band called the grille surrounds.Pretty much a front band for big name shows.

Sorry,really.

50th,yours is correct.They would all need to cover the stamping and my truck is the same.The picture of the other truck above (Dion`s) looks the same,too.

OK, did all tailgates came with stampings?
I thought the ones with a tailgate band came w/o stamping.

68 50th,
I had a 70 Chevy CST with a tailgate band and one time I took the band off and it was a GMC tailgate, but anyway it was in the same location as yours.

If you want to come over I have an old one you can have as a template or of course you can follow the dimensions posted in the previous post. they match up

powell72 · 03-31-2007, 06:56 PM

All tailgates with bands have the stamped letters underneath, The General didn't make any smooth tailgates.

*72CSTC5* · 03-31-2007, 07:04 PM

Dude you all rock. Sorry I haven't responded but I was at work late today pressure washing out our shop and spraybooth. Spring cleaning! Mike I got your PM. When can I pickup the parts?

mbgmike · 04-01-2007, 11:20 AM
