Black GMC Sierra C3

[03GMC2500HD]

Does anyone have a BLACK Sierra C3 that I can use the VIN# to order a painted black tailgate handle/bezel for my HD. The C3 are supposed to be smooth like the Escalade handles but I have never seen one. I know the SS handles are painted but over the textured finish.

Here is a Black C3 on ebay on ebay. VIN - 2GTEK69U111377693

 

I believe the smooth tailgate handle bezel comes paint to match - GM Part # 15752896

I sanded mine smooth in a matter of minutes and painted it myself

Thats the truck I found the other day but was unable to find it today for some reason. Thanks!

 

Found another one and was able to locate the part numbers for the black handle and bezel. Although they are painted textured handles just like the SS truck. Oh well, easy to smooth out and paint.

 

15997911 black handle

15046512 black bezel

 

15755401 pewter handle

15752896 pewter bezel

Yeah, the GMC C3 was the only truck to get the true smooth handle/bezel combo. I think GM got cheap (suprise) and cancelled the smooth parts all together and the textured pieces are on hand for service parts

 

Like you said, smoothing is pretty easy though
