Tailgate Band Placement

I would like to document the placement of the woodgrain tailgate band that were found on the CST, Cheyenne, Cheyenne Super, Sierra, or Sierra Grande trim packages.

I am curious to determine if there are any patterns that might explain the variation in the band's placement such as build factory, build date, etc. Maybe there is no pattern at some plants and more of a pattern at other plants.

At first glance, it appears that some bands were mounted flush with the "stamping line" and other were mounted up to an inch or more below.

Feel free to post any pictures, but I would like to see the following included:
1) original paint tailgate--restored examples aren't as definitive, as they could be aftermarket tailgates.
2) a partial VIN number showing at least the plant letter code plus the three following digits, ie. CCE242S138xxx. A SPID is most desirable, as it would also confirm the trim and paint options.
