ok guys, i have a question. i love the look of a tailgate band. i picked one up from my buddy recently . its in pretty darn good shape. its off his 89 k5 . it has chevrolet badge bolted on on lower passenger side. anyways, ive done search after search and came up with a few things. first as far as mounting it on my future dually tailgate, is it correct that i can reuse the hardware and such off of a truck band and use it on my k5 band? i see some guys run a epoxy or sticky tape, id be ok with drilling holes if i must. second, i see alot of guys run smooth skins, and or shave handle, run handle flip kit ect. do they actually make a filler plate for the 73-87 handle? its at an awful angle. thats prolly why guys just run a skin. i also have heard that since the k5 band is larger and not notched out for a handle, that the k5 band will sit right over top of handle and you dont have to shave it? it sounds ghettoish, and or shortcut, but i dunno. i hope you guys can point me in right direction. i really wanna keep my stock gate, flip the handle.and run my k5 band.
