Welcome to the board! The letters would have been white originally.

Were they originally painted or stick-on decals?

Re: 71 Chevy C10 -tailgate letters painted?
Pretty sure the letters were painted. I had mine repainted silver many years ago. Now that some of that is wearing/chipping away, I still see the white underneath. If it had been stickers, I would have hoped that they would have pulled em off before painting over them!
About due for a touch up now. Think I'll go back to white.....maybe even stickers.
