The shipping is going to be expensive. You would have to REALLY want these parts to pay for shipping. However, I DO have a box that my new tailgate came in and should work to ship the old one. The new unit said 60 pounds on the box, so I would expect the old one to be the same. Figure shipping on 60 lb from zip 76110 to your location and see what it would cost. I would also mention that it MIGHT have to go truck freight since it is somewhat oversize. That's going to bump the price of shipment too. I recommend that these parts be a local pickup only, otherwise, you may be spending too much on the total outcome. Chevy parts STILL has around 50 of the NEW Chevy tailgates. I got mine for $425 out the door. Compare at LMC for $700.

The hood has never been bent due to frozen hinges. It is in good shape except for the rust pattern on the very front of the lip in the photo. I imagine it could be fixed but that's up to you.
