If you're diving into a restoration project for your OBS Series Truck, you know how crucial those finishing touches are. Trust me, the rear molding on the tailgate can really elevate your ride, giving it that classic vibe we all love. I recently came across this tailgate band designed for the 1988-1998 GMT400 Series Fleetside pickups, and let me tell you, it’s spot on. It nails the original factory look, complete with the right CHEVROLET lettering that makes it feel authentic.
This isn’t just any tailgate band; it’s made from high-quality aluminum, so you’re not just getting good looks but also durability that’ll last. Plus, it comes backed with 3M adhesive, which means you can get it installed without breaking a sweat. Seriously, if you’ve ever wrestled with installation, you’ll appreciate how easy this makes things.
Here are some specs to keep in mind: it’s designed specifically for the 1988-1998 GMT400 Series Fleetside pickups, including the C/K 1500, C/K 2500, and C/K 3500 models. So if you’ve got one of those, you’re in luck. The band comes in a sleek silver color, and while it’s a straightforward exterior piece, it definitely makes a statement.
Just a heads up, it does come with a warning related to California Proposition 65, so keep that in mind if you're in that area. But overall, if you want to finish off your truck with a touch that screams authenticity, this tailgate band is a solid choice.
