TN WTT Very nice Chevy tailgate for GMC

[thelonerife]

My tailgate is not for sale right now so please don't ask. I want to trade my chevrolet tailgate for a 67 or 68 gmc gate. This one is nice and only has a couple small dents that will easily be pulled out. I would like one in like shape. straight, not bowed at all. a couple small dents are tolerable. and most important no rust.

The 67 and 68 have the smaller letter section compared to the 69 and up kind. I would really like to have this kind but will consider the later years if I have to. I will not be in a hurry to trade as my project is going to move slowly anyway. I really want to give people the time to decide if they also want to trade.

I'll try to take a couple this weekend. Don't know if I can post them?....if not I can e-mail them. This tailgate may not be in as good as shape as the one you have, and as far as I know it's a 67 GMC. I have it on my '72 Chevy.

This tailgate in not even close as nice as the ones you are showing...........i don't want to get your hopes up! To me it's in pretty good shape.

[thelonerife]

Well I've noticed some flaws in my gate that aren't major but I'm interested in seeing yours.

[faribran]

Chuck, i have one not sure if its the smaller letters.... ill try to get a pic for you

[thelonerife]

Okay.

[Ilike 72"s]

Chuck,
I have one with the small GMC--But---Is Oregon to far?

[thelonerife]

Well, if its a trade then each would just pay for the shipping/crate.

lets see it.

[Ilike 72"s]

I'll take pictures tomorrow for you. I'll also check to see if I have one on my computer right now. Dennis

TCLARK, faribran, ilike72s,

I have put my gate on and have found a bow in it due to a dent that is on the inside of the gate. And the bottom is almost a 1/4'' out on the bottom. I didn't know by looking at it standing up. I wouldn't feel right trading it now, so if you all back out I understand. I will post another thread for a wtb 68 gmc gate. If any of you want to sell me yours you can post a pic and price it to me shipped to 37043. Sorry for the trouble and I am dissapointed..i thought it was an almost perfect gate.

The 67 and 68 had the shorter width of letter panel in the center. 69 had a wider letter panel with GMC on it. I don't have pics of a 69 up. Does yours look like the one pictured above thats green or like ilike72s blue one?

[faribran]

Theloner... i havent forgotten about you.. i plan to get a Pic for ya tomorrow.... Merry xmas.

Mine don't look like either ! Mine is bigger. Here's a couple of pictures.
The more I look at mine the more I see wrong with it.............probably not good enough for you.



.............can't post any pictures ! Do you have an E-mail address?

[faribran]

i took some good pics yesterday afternoon... i have to work on getting them put on here.. maybe tonite... the letters are the larger size....
