Parts required for my truck's steel box with the one piece tailgate:

Tailgate Handle part number is now 84726114. 

Hardware for factory DIY Tailgate Handle install:

Backup plate bracket 84338560.

8mm-1.25 nuts for backup plate 11546459 (2 required)

8mm-1.25x 24.5 long bolt for truck box 11602770 (I re-tapped the box threads as my factory spray-in liner required it)

Works great for me, hope this helps! 

Thank you so much! I ordered the parts and they are on the way!

I just noticed the "Bracket" as the part intended to mount the Assist Handle.  On my 2020 Silverado Custom, I took a different approach  by installing 8mm Nutserts in the two rearmost mounting holes rather than using the "Bracket."  So my handle is mounted using 3 8mm bolts.  The mounted handle is very solid using this approach so I can't see changing anything at this point.
