Tailgate Inserts

You know, the one that goes in the center of the tailgate with the chevy/gmc script on it?

I have seen several of these around this forum, one on a red CCSB and one on a blue one and just now this one on Maxxx's bagged truck. Where can these be found? is it something custom that is available or are the owners of these trucks mentioned above making them as one off's?



I am skinning my tailgate after relocating the handle but this is pretty cool and i may consider it as an alternative to the skin job i been thinking about.

Thanks in advance.

Re: Tailgate Inserts

Oh, I am dumb huh? I bet this is a burb/blazer insert that has been modified to fit the truck?

Re: Tailgate Inserts

Yeah its a blazer one its almost a bolt on.You have to grind down on the back side a tiny bit to get it to fit right.Search around on here a few have done the swap.

Re: Tailgate Inserts

I like it because its a bolt on way to hide a handle flip and most would think its stock.
