My Dad worked at GM for 35 yrs. And after he saw my truck, is when he actually told me about some of the parts he personally made for GM. And the band was was one the parts, he mostly produced at the time these trucks were being built.

I have run across a few in my adventures, they are either too dinged up or they want way too much. And a few that people want, way too much for junk.

If all you want is a good straight clean band, I'd have others besides the one on this gate that arent as rare. The problem would be shipping. I don't have access to commercial discounted rates, and the length on these things probably makes things absurd.
