I have an early production LOWER tailgate molding that I pulled from a 1981-82 full size truck in a salvage yard in the late 1980s.
Fast forward to 2024... What I can not remember is how it was attached???
Was it just several BIG blocks of 3M type double sided tape??
It is item #14 in the attached GM parts schematic.
I do not remember any metal or plastic clips like the rear cab molding or the earlier 1973-80 bodyside metal strips use.
Does anyone else even remember this early design- Or even have one on their current 1981-82 trucks?? This is not the peel and stick trim molding like used on all other 1982-87 trucks all the way around- Now aftermarket.
Thanks,
