Re: How much does a fleetside tailgate weigh?

I can't help you with the weight but in case you are not aware, Greyhound is a good shipping alternative if there is a station near you and where you are shipping. Pretty reasonable. You would have to wrap it real well in a couple of layers of heavy cardboard. BTW, I have a friend from HS who is living the good retired life on Lake Travis. Looks like a nice reservoir.

If I had to guess, I'd say right at 100 lbs

I agree. I shipped one for 60-70 buck one time. I think it was fedex.
