Tailgate ?

My truck is at the painters. The tailgate looks bad because of all the rust under the Chrome strip at the top. The truck is 78 GMC, I would like to keep the gate close to stock. What years look like similar to this?

Re: Tailgate ?

73-80 essentially look very similar, but there are minor differences between the 73-76 gates and the 77-80 gates
