Wifey has been wanting the circled piece white since she bought the truck. I'm sure I can get it painted, but I assumed someone makes a white replacement.

Does anyone know where I can find one?

I’m usually pretty good at coming up with replacement parts Troy but I got nothing when I looked for that.

I know you don’t wanna hear this but paint it with white plastidip. Can do it on the truck and if she decides she doesn’t like it later it’ll peel right off

I've used plastidip for several touch ups. It works pretty good, but doesn't hold up too well.

I've used it on hoods, grill inserts, wheels, and a couple other body parts. But I've had better luck with black against red and chrome, than I've had trying to use white on white.
 
I'll check tomorrow...
My friend/neighbor has a body shop.
It will probably have to come from LKQ because the GM warehouses are sooo backed up after the GM strike.
 
Can't help with finding the part, I'll just say I absolutely hate that manufacturers put black plastic on any part of vehicles, unless it is a designated a W/T. It inevitably fades and takes more maintenance to keep it sharp than paint. The next vehicle I buy will not have any on it.

Just talked to my body shop buddy...
Not offered in a color from GM.
Can be painted and with proper prep it will hold up very well.
 
There is actually 2 of those, one has a textured finish and the other is more "slick". The only one that will hold paint is the slick one. I had mine swapped back in 2010 on my 09 Silverado. Cost back them was about 250.00.....
