Does your truck look better with the tailgate band on, or off?

Hey I really like those colors. Do you happen to know what colors they are, or perhaps the paint codes?

A few more pics of the truck would be welcome as well!

Thanks buddy. I can’t remember anymore, I’ll have to look them up when I get home. They were factory colors in 1978. Here is another pic.

The light green is called sea mist and the dark green is Holly.

That’s sharp! I love the green trucks. Can we see the interior?

Unfortunately I don’t have any Tina! My hard drive crashed a couple years ago and I lost all my pics from the build. My threads on here are pictureless because i unfortunately used photo bucket back then and they jacked my pics when I wouldn’t pay their ridiculous annual fees.

Yeah they really went down the toilet. You can use imgur now though. It's still free

I removed the tailgate band on an '84 Silverado I had because I used it for work. While the tailgate band is a pretty sight on the back of a truck, it doesn't make much sense to put a big frail piece of flat trim where it is so vulnerable to damage. No trim looks better than dinged trim. Plus I like the body forming that gets covered up, as well as the traditional embossed "brand" all trucks had up until GMT400s.

The problem is all the pictures held ransom on Photobucket. Is there a way to steal those back? I have thousands of pictures there, going back to '04.
