WTB: 73-80 Tailgate - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

smashingchuck · 01-11-2008, 07:48 AM

Looking for an OEM tailgate 73-80 that says "Chevrolet" all the way across the back. A few dings would be ok, but I don't want anything with major rust or damage.

I have a very nice 81-87 gate that just has two dime size dents in it and also 73-80 gate that has been shaved and is in primer to trade if anyone is interested in a trade.

Do you have a picture of what the 73-80 gate looks like? I have a decent Chevy gate I would sell reasonable or possibly trade.

Up for a road trip? I have a nice 77 gate I would let go for cheap (howz $35 sound)?

I'll pay to have it shipped for that price if you are willing to box it up. I couldn't get there for what I'd have into shipping.

Chuck I have a gate off a 73? that has CHEVROLET across the back in white letters. I am going to try and send a pic of it hopefully I can do this. I bought this in Texas a few years ago and its been in the basement ever since. I have gone to a flatbed so I don't think I'll need. $65.00 + Shipping. Theres some scratches in the paint but no dents or dings.

smashingchuck · 01-17-2008, 06:48 AM

Rich-
does the inside of it look ok as well? and its straight and not bowed? If all is well I'll take it.

rich-white · 01-17-2008, 02:16 PM
