OK, if you are looking for one to fit the 1976 Revell Chevy Step Side, this should work. I have the Revell kit and based it off of that. I know the font is not perfect, but close. 

If there is interest the next time I fire up the Saturn I will knock out a few. The grill can be had in the snow plow truck.

The incorrect letters stick out like a sore thumb.

I went back and fixed the sharp outer corners.

That is not like the one shown in the first post.

Yes, the op has posted a picture of a 60-80s tailgate. I’m not sure what year it changed, but the lettering changed over the years. 
While not 100% perfect, the one I made is correct for the 73-87 kits. 

According to the research I have done, the tail gate is correct fit for 54-87, the lettering is correct for 63-87. Only the 54-62 had the fancy lettering you show.

OK, I did a little more work on this one. I think this is as close as I can get to the original tailgate posted.
