WIW - Restored Chevrolet Tailgate - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

C10-Driver · 03-02-2009, 02:19 AM

Just wanting to get some opinions on what this tailgate is worth. I started with a rust-free original that I purchased last fall. It was split open, sandblasted inside and out, sealed inside then re-assembled and finished. We shot it with a black base/clear and polished it to show how straight it is (and it is as straight as it looks).

I have it advertised locally for $1000 Canadian ($850 US)... A person could easily spend that and more to restore an original gate. Am I in the ball-park? Any opinions would be appreciated.
