Tailgate band trim panel GMC

[joe_1980]

Hi guys,
I found most of the parts that I need for restoring my 1980 GMC C2500 at LMC truck but I couldn't find the tailgate band I tried to look everywhere, junkyards, venders websites and the part department at the dealership I even contact GMC headquarter but I could not find it, I saw people offering them new out of the box on instagram but they asking for a lot more than $400, could you help me find this part.
and do you know if I could find the wood grain rails for the longbed I heard its hard to find. if you guys have any thoughts or comments please fell free to help

thanks all

If you are looking to buy NOS - $400 is a dream.

here is a decent one for $250:

BTW - you don't have to restrict your search to the 73-80 model years, 81- 87 will fit and looks identical.

I have the Chevrolet band without the chevy badge off an 84.

It will fit but is not correct, it has a large black stripe around the border. And the GMC emblem is different.

I have a very nice one I still need to remove from my '79. It has no dings or scratches, but the finish is hazy. It either needs refinished, or an application of wd-40 every few weeks. Shipping would be $ though.

Can you upload a photo please.

Ok, I guess I lied. There are two tiny dings in it, I don't remember where they are though.
