Thanks Yellow K/5.
You could get away with it if there were no chrome trim, especially on a backwoods bomber Blazer.
I have an aluminum trim panel on the rear of the tailgate of my '71 GMC Jimmy. A PO put it on along with TV Set style Squarebody side mirrors. I was told his other truck was a Squarebody. I was gonna change 'em out for proper vintage Below-the-Eyeline mirrors when I first got it. [1995] But they grew on me and I'm used to them. And I never could find OEM D4-somethings. The repops suck and vibrate bad, I heard.
I have a '72 K/5 in the weeds. Tub-only parts truck, but I have collected a front tin doghouse, fenders hood, radiator bulkhead etc. Tailgate was missing when I got it.
