Tailgate band letters, painted?
Anyone know if the letters on the tailgate were painted originally? Have a 1971 GMC, and all letters are chrome. Should they be black in indentation?
Thanks. Rick.

Re: Tailgate band letters, painted?
This is a good question - I assumed ALL were painted originally. But that was my A$$umption only...

Re: Tailgate band letters, painted?
Thank sfor the responses. Thank you for the pic too, really helps. Mine being just chrome really makes them "pop", but maybe too much.
