I am now obsessed with wanting to know the correct tailgate lettering color on the '80-86 trucks. So if you have an original '80-86 truck, please chime in with the year of the truck, what color the letters were painted originally, along with the original color of the truck and interior color. The only documented info I have is in an '82 Data Book that hints they were color keyed to the interior color. That flies in the face of some things I have just seen in a couple of apparently unaltered trucks. I am thrice-damned if I can remember what my truck's letters were painted originally and all the old pics I have don't show the back and the tailgate was off for some years when I had a camper on the truck. My wife remembers red but I remember no paint at all. I think my tailgate got painted in the early '90s after some dingbat backed into me in a parking lot. Anyway, please feed my obsession.
