Who Sells Aftermarket tailgates?
Hey guys, I am looking to get a tailgate and cut the face off in order to weld on the Sir Michaels Smooth taigate skin and then run the handle relocator. Does anyone know what truck parts store carries the least expensive tailgate? I could care less if they are cheap because I am redoing it all anyways, the cheaper $$$, the better
This is the look I am going for Mike Last edited by BigMike; 06-23-2006 at 07:18 PM. |

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=202828 Anyone else know where the cheap tailgates are? Someone (I thought) said they got one for like $100 somewhere. That is what I'm looking for since it's going to get cut up anyways. Mike |

Re: Who Sells Aftermarket tailgates?
I just sold my near mint one because I would have felt guilty about modifying such a nice original one. I don't mind modifying a repop Plus, someone who needed a nice one got it, so I feel I have contributed to the 67-72 Chevy Family.

Re: Who Sells Aftermarket tailgates?
There is a place called CertiFit. They have some sheet metal for our trucks. They have a store in okc. I am not sure if they have one in CA. The price I remember last was about 110 for one a few years back. Check out there web site www.certifit.com . Hope this helps.

Re: Who Sells Aftermarket tailgates?
we have a new repro that came with a small dent in it. If you could find a way to get it their. Shipping it I think would cost too much to just cut it up. You can probably find one closer. We would let this one go for cost, If you can't find one closer. FYI We sell them with or w.o letters also.
