I have a 1973 K5 Blazer and trying to replace the tailgate trim band. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find a clean oem or reproduction one. LMC makes a tailgate trim band for 1981 thru 1991. Does anyone know the difference between a 1973 and 1981 thru 1991 tailgate trim band? Can someone measure their tailgate band, if you have a 1981 to 1991 Blazer or Jimmy?

My tailgate band measurements are 66 3/4" length and 7 1/2" wide.

No difference in length, there’s slight manufacturing differences but your talking 1/16 - 1/32”
