Tailgate Trim

[Ranger429]

The orange is strictly for the Indy truck, they got that same crappy color around the instrument cluster.

I believe so.Two of our members had it out one time on this exact subject,but I can't remember if it was here or at eff tee eee.

That would be me and another well known member. I have the correct info in one of my books and would have to dig it up. Might be easier for me to search over yonder and find my post.

First...I was surprised Dennis' username wasn't completely blocked and his posts removed (I know all mine were).

Secondly...I think I'm gonna have to go with the fact anything could be had, Ford was/is screwy...so there may be a rule of thumb as to where/when/how a truck got those specific trim pieces, but no hard set rules.

Tim has removed 55,353 from my post count though.

He is the only one blocking my return, but hopefully IB will be getting rid of him soon.

Ok so it is so unreal that a previous owner added trim after a resto?

 

[Mil1ion]

A CUSTOM trim level truck could have anything on it.

The salesman would go over a list of options and trim packages with the buyer.

They could either pick a truck from the lot and add or subtract or just special order it.

I took my truck the way it was with a huge discount.

I should have waited 4 more months for a 79.

Since this picture was taken, I put the handle insert back in.

I'd love to get my hands on the upper black piece of trim. I can find the FORD panels, but that black one is hard to get.

I know DC reproduces them if it comes to that, but I'd love to get an OEM piece.

Go to the link that was posted of the Indy Ford panel earlier in this thread. Then view that sellers other items, he has at least one NOS black panel.

Dennis,That site is pretty cool,especially the section on the plastic models.

Ben,That's a pretty sweet buckle,but too bad it doesn't have an oval behind it.

 

[Mil1ion]

I see those belt buckles all the time in my area of the world.

Maybe time to start buying them

I have these guys in my collection

I am still looking for the topper
