any idea where i can find pics of such pieces? may have to fabricate some, as i imagine these would be difficult to find? Gerald

I actually bought some for mine. I can dig them out and get you measurements.  They are off and loose.  Just have to find them in my bins.

17.5" overall x 1/2" wide. Radiused at the center

17.375 at center. The piece has a rounded center. Point at one end and angled cut at the other.  Also it elevated a bit for the body contour.
I think restoration specialities has some trim bar that is sold that can be due to create copied

It's interesting they look good, even though there is no paint division here.

I just placed them there not bolted in.  Was considering painting the tailgate red if I ever get to fixing the rust on the tailgate.

once again Abe, thanks for the great pics ! hard to imagine a paint separation there, but i guess you would just have to see it. don't know that it works for my application. Gerald
