i need your opinion
hey guys, i just got a new tailgate to replace the one i ran over (tried to straiten it
 ) but thats another story. the one i got for my 79 is the newer style 81-87, and it has a tailgate band on it. my 79 is all shaved, no mirrors, no door handles, no locks, no lamp lences, no gas doors, no drip rails, nothin that isnt needed. so idk if i should keep it and get rid of the chevy emblem on it, or just take the band off and just roll with that. any opinions?

Re: i need your opinion
are you keeping the band and just removing the emblem? or deleting the band altogether?

Re: i need your opinion
if you take the band off you will need to weld the holes, the band is bit harder to fill the holes as its brushed aluminium.
