New tailgate
 

A repro, but its pretty decent. Trying to start the final body work on this thing so I can get it in some paint. It will be Mariner blue a Dupont color. I had some pics of the paint I'll try to find them and post some. Later!!

Dude very nice lookin gate.:thumbs: Ive always wondered how a repro would fit. I take it the body work to it is minimal?

Re: New tailgate
 

Yeah there is not much left. The bed sides are kinda wavy, trying to figure out how to fix that! :confused: A few spots on cab and hood that needs some attention and thats about it.

Re: New tailgate

Re: New tailgate

Re: New tailgate

Re: New tailgate

Re: New tailgate
 

pretty soon your'e going to have a brand new truck....
looks nice!

Re: New tailgate
 

Thanks man! Its getting close to brand new. :lol:

Re: New tailgate
 

Nice gate....I have been thinking about changing out the panels on my truck.

I didn't realize at first , but my truck is a big a$$ bondo machine !!!

The previous owner (old fart) and his brother (older-fart) farted around with this truck and caked on the bondo.

Looks ok in black primer.....but it could lose some weight !!!:lol:

Anyway, your truck is look'n sweet !!!

Re: New tailgate
 

Thanks John! Don't feel bad about the bondo, my bed has a good bit in it. Its not a ton but more than I wanted. To bad they don't make repro bed sides yet, I might would go that route. Depending on price of course!! Iv'e been looking for a better bed but they are always so far away. I guess I'll just keep what I have, It's definitly a driver not a show truck. Thanks for the comments guys!!

Re: New tailgate
 

I love the way that truck sits. It looks great now, it's going to be fantastic with new paint. Great job!

Re: New tailgate

Re: New tailgate
 

Well, it will be driven to the shows and the mud pit as well!! :metal:
