Neptune ◊ 2010-11-10 19:18	1981-1991 GMC C/K-3500 Wideside Big Dooley (dual rear wheels) from the 73-87 (-91) rounded-line truck generation. The dual rear wheels help evenly distribute loads, increase towing and payload capability and help stabilize the vehicle. Likely in "High Sierra" trim. It has the rear polished genuine aluminium tailgate décor. An expensive piece to purchase when restoring these trucks. Here is the standard polished aluminium tailgate décor on my truck (in top-of-the-line high end Silverado trim). Note that Chevrolet is located on the passenger side. It is a single piece with polished valance that surrounds the tailgate handle. The tail lamps are surrounded in genuine polished aluminium to complement the tailgate décor.
