While on the subject of tailgates.

My truck has been discussed earlier in this (Post #7) and in other threads. It is the GMC with the documented 611 Blue Plaid Cloth which had been previously removed.

Regarding the tailgate trim and paint, I know that the band was likely added by a PO which I will remove. Also the paint on the tailgate is blue between the upper and lower moldings which does not match the 481 White / Hawaiian two tone on the rest of the truck. To return this to its original factory look of a Super Custom GMC what would the paint pattern be for the tailgate? The embossed "GMC" is present under the band. My guess is that it would be white between the moldings to match the rest of the truck but what color would the GMC letters be and the indented background behind the letters.
Thanks in Advance.
