Well I no longer than sent this out and I got a call that my parts were in so here yo go:

Parts required for my truck's steel box with the one piece tailgate:

Tailgate Handle part number is now 84726114. 

Hardware for factory DIY Tailgate Handle install:

Backup plate bracket 84338560.

8mm-1.25 nuts for backup plate 11546459 (2 required)

8mm-1.25x 24.5 long bolt for truck box 11602770 (I re-tapped the box threads as my factory spray-in liner required it)

Works great for me, hope this helps!

Thought I would share a picture of the GMC Tailgate Handle on my RST. I ordered it from the GMC Dealer and installed it in 5 minutes. It works great and very useful to this old man.

Those are intentionally left open as they're intended to be used as grab areas when using the steps build into the bumpers (cut outs on each end of the bumper).  They're kind of pointless IMO if you h

I just noticed the "Bracket" as the part intended to mount the Assist Handle.  On my 2020 Silverado Custom, I took a different approach  by installing 8mm Nutserts in the two rearmost mounting holes rather than using the "Bracket."  So my handle is mounted using 3 8mm bolts.  The mounted handle is very solid using this approach so I can't see changing anything at this point.

If anyone that was following this thread still wants one, I have one that I took off of my X31 Sierra! PM me and we’ll work out a price with shipping!

Got it installed today. Thanks again!
