colored matched tailgate w/ the wrong letters on it, its all good. Small dent along the top. Was a little difficult to open on 1 side. Tried spaying, soaking & adjusting. No-go. Swapped guts w/ another gate. Good guts, wrong color. Works mint now. Reinstalled the filler panel around the handle.

it's actually kinda funny that both of my GMC's have color matched tailgates that Chevrolet on them. as you can see in the reflection.

Last weekend i got 4 doors from a 99 Suburban to replace my rotted doors. Matching color a bonus. Except the lf door, it was red hence the shade difference. The lf door will be replaced when i find a cleaner one. The other doors only have a couple of minor dings. Now to finish taking that damn camo off.

I really like that radio. I had one in mine for about a year to match my red led interior lighting. Everyone asked me how I fit a Pontiac radio in a Chevrolet haha.

This is the first time I have seen this thread, I am on the Cape and have a 98 with a painted rear bumper. I am switching beds this spring and will be building a new bumper to match the new bed. I may be selling my bumper if you are interested. I have a set of aux. lights I built into the bumper.

I like it. I've seen several different methods to installing it. I just used the modified lower plate from the am/fm radio that I took out.

thanks, touch bases when your ready & we'll go from there. I did recently locate a chrome rear bumper for it. I prefer a painted rear though.
