Tailgate trim question

Has anyone ever seen a trim panel like this one before?

All the others I've seen had argent letters with a black back ground or vise versa.

looks like it has been all chromed, or everything was stripped off it.
i just got finished polishing mine, it should have black letters and grey backround with chrome only around the outside.

I'm thinking it was stripped too.This is the other one I have.

This one isn't as nice as the first one.One of them is going on my 72.

the first one has been stripped. it looks great. there are two type of these type of trim for our years. and there might be other for the 73-79 and ranger xlt woodgrain ones. i know the one ryan has is year correct for 67=69. i think in 70 is when they went to the one clay is showing.

Ford actually did make appliances at one time under the name Philco.

Just wondering, what are these things worth? A great shape (a 67-69 one)?

According to my DC catalog they want $200 for a repop.Might be more now.

i have seen decent ones go one ebay for 20.00 and up. it just depends on who shows up at bidding time.

Restoring a '69 F100. I can see that the tailgate trim is riveted on and that the rivets have to be drilled out to remove the tailgate FORD panel. Anybody know the best way to reattach the trim after the tailgate is painted.
