1981-82 Rear Tailgate Lower Mldg

[Bad Bowtie2]

I have an early production METAL lower tailgate molding. I pulled it from a junkyard truck back in the late 1980s.  

 

 

What I can not remember is how it attached??? 

 

Was it just BIG blocks of 3M type double sided tape?? 

 

It is item #14 in this GM parts schematic.

 

I do not remember any metal or plastic clips like the rear cab molding or the earlier 1973-80 bodyside metal strips use.

 

Does anyone else even remember this early design- Or even have one on their 1981-82 trucks?? This is not the peel and stick trim molding like used on all other 1982-87 trucks all the way around.

 

Thanks,

Jon in TX.
