Title: Trim On Tailgate
Post by: heavychevy91 on December 09, 2009, 11:21:47 am

Does anyone know here I can find a trim panel like the one below, my truck didnt come with one and I like how they look. What would be involved in installing one? I figure drilling a few holes or is it held on by tape? Also I looked in   Truck and didnt see anything like this in there, so is this pretty much  junkyard only thing?

Thanks,
Tim

I'm going for the 91 look and have an 87 bed with said trim. 

DId the 91's come with this trim?

If not how best to remove it?

It just un bolts/screws from the bed side of the tailgate. There are 2 pieces, inner and outer.

I've got one you can have but I'm in Illinois. It's off an 82, but looks like the one in the pic

You might do a search on ebay for chevy tailgate panel.
I've seen those panels new for $400 or so. They can get expensive! There's always a complete tailgate or two on there as well, but shipping can run the cost up ..
