If anyone is wondering how to ship a tailgate, this is it. I bought a NOS tailgate from jc the end of last week, it arrived today. From the inside out, the tailgate was covered in foam, heavy cardboard doubled at corners, wrapped in a blanket, another couple of layers of cardboard, all bound together with a roll or two of packing tape, and finally in a close fitting wooden crate that must have 200 screws holding it together. The delivery guy was hating it. I weighed the crate and packing and it was 103 lbs without the tailgate, no wonder I couldn't budge it on the front porch. The crate had a small hole punched in it from what looked like a forklift but thanks to all the packing, the gate was undamaged. I paid a small fortune, but I am happy. I can't recommend jc enough, I wish all internet transactions went this well. Thanks
