Tailgate reproduction?

Has anyone used a reproduction tailgate, can you tell a difference when painting and intalling or is it very similar? Thanks for the help!

Re: Tailgate reproduction?

Its close but not nearly as heavy as the original. Great for show but not good for use

My mom always had the best advice. It was just a tad late. After a fall that involved blood, she'd say....."Careful!"

Re: Tailgate reproduction?

Mine fit well, just flimsy. If its just for looks you should be fine, I would buy another for that. Other wise find a good clean original.
