If you’re knee-deep in restoring your classic squarebody truck, you know that the little details can make all the difference. That rear trim on the tailgate? It’s not just a finishing touch; it’s what really brings that vintage vibe together. I’ve been there, and trust me, the right trim can elevate your project from good to jaw-dropping.
Enter the new tailgate trim panel designed specifically for the 1973-1980 C/K Series Fleetside pickups. This piece is a spot-on replica of the original factory panel, complete with the iconic CHEVROLET lettering that just screams classic Americana. It’s like giving your truck a fresh haircut—sharp and ready to hit the road.
What I really dig about this trim is the brushed aluminum finish. It’s not just about looks; it’s built to last. You won’t have to worry about it fading or rusting out on you. Plus, it’s made using the original GM tooling, which means it fits like a glove. No awkward gaps or misalignments here. And let’s not forget the chrome-plated lettering—it’s just like the original equipment, so you know it’s going to pop.
In terms of specs, it’s got everything you’d want: it’s from Brothers Trucks, a brand that knows their stuff. The color is a classic silver, and it’s categorized under emission code 6, so you’re covered there. Just a heads up, if you’re in California, keep Proposition 65 in mind.
Now, here’s where it gets even better—this panel is compatible with a range of models. Whether you’ve got a Chevy C/K 10, 20, or 30 from 1973 to 1980, or a GMC C/K 15, 25, or 35 from 1973 to 1978, this trim is going to fit right in.
So, if you’re looking to wrap up your restoration project with a piece that’s both authentic and durable, this tailgate trim panel is a solid choice. It’s those little details that make your ride truly yours, and this one’s a no-brainer.
