LWB Tailgate and SWB Tailgate
 

69-72 chevy

This is prob. a dumb question, but is there any difference between a longbed tailgate and shortbed tailgate? Or are they identical. Thanks

Re: LWB Tailgate and SWB Tailgate
 

They are the same. Stepside is different.

Thanks TMS!

Looking at a 69 tailgate for a 71. Owner says it was taken off in early 70's and never used since. Staight with very small surface rust.

Should fit no problem. If it is what he claims, that is a good find!

Re: LWB Tailgate and SWB Tailgate
 

Yes, I agree! :metal: Is there anyway I can truely identify it as OEM? Stamped part # or something?

Re: LWB Tailgate and SWB Tailgate
 

one is further away form the back window, but they are interchangeable.

Can't verify, but in 12/28/2002 someone wrote:

"re-pop weighed 7 lbs less and did not have the spot welds running side to side in the indentation above the word Chevrolet."

I should take a scale with me and weigh it. :lol:

I knew it! All the affordable tailgates are back EAST! Ok....lets see it. Sounds like a great deal.

True. And 4x4 truck tailgates are mounted higher off the ground.
