Bought a nice tailgate
Ran into a 67-72 fan at NAPA the other day. He was telling me about his parts collection & mentioned that he had a nice gate. After chatting a bit I asked him if the gate was for sale- to my surprise he said "yes". It was removed when the truck was a couple years old & has a few small dings & scratches but overall a solid & straight gate. Any idea what color it is?

Re: Bought a nice tailgate
Thanks for the 516 color info- I like it but, don't remember seeing very many this color- the solid GMC looks good!

It looks like it has the holes factory drilled for lower gate trim, I dont think 68s had lower gete trim.
My three trucks don't
I think lower trim started with the 1969 model year.
Prob has nothing to do with the color code though, just saying
