Tailgate Moulding

I've seen several different styles of aluminum trim on '72 tailgates. Mine is a one piece big aluminum panel. It measures 66 3/4" across and about 12" tall. Is this a common trim panel. Mine got mashed and I need a new one. How may different styles are there?
My truck is a Sport Custom.

I Believe that the big piece you are talking about also came on xlt models, and it had a simulated wood grain in the middle, sport custom I think was painted black. My truck had on it originally, and it is in good shape. They are pretty rare in good shape because of people backing into things. I do not know of any aftermarket people reproducing these parts but have not checked either.

I haven't seen my tailgate moulding in any magazine or on any website.

The first one is the narrow overlay, the others are the wide version. There are no dimensions in the parts book, and the book only shows the early narrow panel.

My truck is bone stock with 61,000 original miles. It came stock with the 12" panel. It has a black band painted around it, near the outer edge.
Through some more research, it appears to be the same as a Ranger (not XLT woodgrain). I got it from the original owner. I wonder if he could have ordered it that way.

It would be preferred to have you email the poster directly when you want to offer something for sale. It would be better in keeping with the site's current userguidelines.

Thanks

I know from looking at the trucks when new there were two different wide overlays, but the parts book only shows the early 68/70 (C8TZ) narrow one for part # reference.

The Ranger uses the same dimension overlay (D0TZ-A) as the one that's woodgrained (D0TZ-B) on the Ranger XLT. It's aluminum with a black band.

What D1TZ looks like, I can't remember.

Sorry for any confusion.

trim panel

Bobby that panel was a Ranger and Ranger XLT only was never available for anything but the two models I stated. The only way you have that is a previous owner put that on or replaced the tailgate with that panel on it was never a sport custom option. I even have literature supporting this plus other info supporting that too. Thay are rare to find might want to replace with the correct Sport Custom Version.
