Dabbler Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 I am looking for the panel to replace the missing one on my tailgate and prefer it to the factory holes where one used to reside. I have a bead on an old one as I am learning what you all have said - unicorns are easier to find. Problem is the guy has a crappy camera and it’s a few hour drive away, (And he doesn’t know what he has as it was in a farm they inherited). Does anyone know, or could I ask someone to measure, the dimensions of the panel as it sits on the tailgate? It would save me driving 3 hours to see a piece the wrong thing😃 Thanks here is a pic of the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dabbler Posted December 30, 2022 Author Share Posted December 30, 2022 Fantastic! Thanks for the super quick reply Gary - appreciate it. Took me long enough but it’s finally done. Not perfect but suits the truck with the odd imperfection. I stripped it down and polished and repaired as best I could. I gave up after months of looking for the black plastic outlines the letters fit into and went to a local automotive striping company and had them cut the letter outlines 3/16” larger than the new chrome letters and also replace the black large stripe and pinstripes around the perimeter. I then installed the letters after drilling out the mount holes to fit new little plugs and I think she looks pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
