Le Tailgate Trim ???
The wife's truck came with a plain jane dark gray tailgate.
Her truck is a two-tone LE trim package, black top and bottom, silver center.
Can someone post a picture of what a LE two-tone tail-gate should look like??
There are a zillion 1st Generations around here, but very few with beds and hardly a one with a good tail-gate to look at.
I would imagine there should be some sort of chrome center section in the LE tail-gate.
Thanks.

This is what a 1992 1/2 LE tailgate looks like, Please ignore box side because that and fender flair have been repaired , also put on new bumper and painted whole truck.

Many Thanks
Thanks for taking time to show me what I need to do.
Where on earth am I going to find that big wide trim piece in good shape??
The tailgate she has is the wrong color and plain as it gets.
Maybe after I paint it to match the truck, I won't need the chrome piece.
We'll see how it turns out.
My list of projects is sure growing.

My red trim piece has seen better days as well. I bought a 20ft long 4in wide strip of 3M self-adhesive red reflective safety tape off ebay. Haven't got it cut to the right width yet(I think about 3 3/4in or so), but I'm planning to peel the original completely off, remove the adhesive and lay 'er down! It may not be exact replacement/color and that pliable plastic(?), but I'll bet you will see the hind end in the dark!! Should complement the Maxximus 12-led marker lights, yes? I couldn't come up with any other solutions for a missing/ugly trim strip. Anyone else have an idea?
PS
Bumper now replaced with pre-83 'thin' style...lost the step bumper, but looks better than this rusted/sorta bent one. Also added the 'Cummins Turbo Diesel' lower portion emblem centered below the 'E' of DODGE(no 'RAM 350' though), something I think Dodge should always have done; badge the rear of the truck too! :-)

I have the trim on my truck but the only thing that I can show is the short clip I posted on Utube. Well, not that short but might help. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHXLMUmFBNs
