Re: Foolish to think I can find a hugger orange tailgate?
Thought I'd post a couple of pics of the finished project after yesterday. New tailgate, swapped the step bumper for a sport bumper, and put on a hidden hitch. Will put on the tailgate trip and Chevrolet letters soon.

Re: Foolish to think I can find a hugger orange tailgate?
I frequent pick n pull south on foster, however there are rarely any of our trucks there. I keep up to date on inventory on row52.com its a great tool. Shoot me a PM some time if you ever need help finding stuff in town I've made some great connections.

Re: Foolish to think I can find a hugger orange tailgate?
Are you going to eventually paint the letters, or leave it as is? It looks sharp with that sport bumper!

I finished the hidden hitch, tailgate trim and letters. Looks pretty good!

Re: Foolish to think I can find a hugger orange tailgate?
Wow, youve done a great job here, your tailate looks awesome!! This is great reference for me as I am in a similar situation as you, I was wanting to know what a new tailgate would look like against the original paint on the rest of my truck, but this looks great!! Thanks!

Re: Foolish to think I can find a hugger orange tailgate?
I have a excellent original paint green one in my rafters that I picked up a couple years ago for a $100...Theyre definitely out there.

Re: Foolish to think I can find a hugger orange tailgate?
I actually have a spare that came with the truck... its gold in colour but its in very good shape with no rust... I would definately trade it for an orange one if I found one in decent shape. Or I may decide to go ahead and have it painted up nicely, I thought it might look funny to have a nicely painted tailgate on a truck with original paint... in the mean time I will keep looking. I see there is a for sale section here, I will keep an eye out for what Im looking for. Thanks for the info!
