Title: 1984 c10 Tailgate Band Hardware
Post by: kmart74 on February 20, 2023, 06:45:57 PM

Hello. Newbie here.  Does anyone know where hardware can be purchased for a tailgate band?  If not, does anyone know what makes up the hardware needed?  I believe there are 4 holes

Thank you

You'll need 4 washers and 4 screws.  That's all that holds that band on.

It uses speed nuts and either phillips head or torx screws. You can find nice chromey ones at the hardware store.

I lucked out and found an oe band on an old ranch, and it had the speed nuts on it, but I have a rusty Chevrolet tailgate, so I used whatever screws I had to mount it. I drilled through the tailgate, and got some GMC SIERRA badges from a 93 that a friend gave me and installed them
