Re: tailgate band mounts

That looks real good!

I dunno about the mounts... maybe you can find some at a junkyard... since you're not looking for a nice band, but any crappy one will do as long as it has mounts, you may have some luck finding one to get mounts off of.

I like the black lettering. I did mine gold to match my fender emblems and most of the time it just looks like i didn't paint it at all. i need to add repainting it to my list of To do's.

Re: tailgate band mounts

I just remembered, I have a couple of spares of those things. When I got my band off ebay, the mounts were rusty and I happened to know where another band was (it had a big hole in it) in the junkyard , so I went and got it's mounts which had no rust on them. PM me your address info and I'll find out shipping. Shipping should be just a couple of $$ if it is I'll just send it to ya.

It has surface rust but it's as solid as the rust free ones. There's two different sizes used and the one I have is 4"
