67-72 Chevy Truck Tailgate
Tomorrow I'm going to be buying a 67-72 Chevy Truck tailgate. I want to make sure that I dont end it up buying a 73-87 one. I know what a 67-72 looks like but I never seen a 73-87 tailgate been up close.
What should I look for? Thanks. Last edited by OregonC20; 01-22-2010 at 10:30 PM. |

Re: 67-72 Chevy Truck Tailgate
all 3 are easy to tell apart the basic contours of the metal is different in all 3 i suggest that you go to the 60-66 and 73-87 forums and see the differneces yourself.

If you know what the correct tailgate looks like, then you shouldn't have a problem I would think.

Re: 67-72 Chevy Truck Tailgate
Thanks everyone for your responses!. I was looking for pictures of tailgates at the 60-66 and 73-87 forums but most members take pics of the front or side
of the trucks and not too many of the tailgates. Anyways the pics that northerngmc posted helped a lot. Thanks again. |
