70's stepside, Tailgate?

Hey ya'll,

ive been offered a 70 something stepside, supposedly rust free, w/a rod knock for $300. the main thing wrong w/it is the tailgate...

How hard is it to find a tailgate for one of these old stepsides? i would imagine it'd be pretty hard.

but anyhow i'm going to look at it either this sunday or next, so i'll post some pics and get some opinions then.

thanks

If it's a Chevy the tailgates are fairly easy to find, a GMC might be tough. Any tailgate from 55-87 will work. I don't think the stamped lettering is the same for all those years, but the gates will all interchange.
