How close are Mar-K tailgate moldings to OEM? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have the three NOS upper tailgate moldings. One side isn't quite what I'd like, and it's a tuff side to locate. I figure Mar-K is an option if you can't distinguish a difference. Couple questions for those in the know.

Do Mar-K's fit like original, and do they adapt to the tailgate handle like original?

Can you distinguish their moldings from original? I'd like to use the OEM lower molding piece (Custom Deluxe). in other terms, would you see a difference between the top (Mar-K) and lower (OEM) moldings?

Do you know how Mar-K's moldings are made? I think the original pieces are chrome plated aluminum or chrome plated pot metal.

Thanks
