MN 73-74 GMC tailgate (fleetside)

[bigblock73]

OK, really hate to sell this too..but I need to.

1973-1974 GMC tailgate. What is unique and rare about this particular 'gate is that it has the raised GMC lettering in the uper left hand corner, with an emblem over it. Also, the brushed center panel has NO holes in it for emblems of any kind because of that.

The tailgate is in EXCELLENT condition with no rust or dents anywhere. Light scratches here and there from being stored, but that is it. Tailgate was originally ochre(sp?)/white, but somewhere along the way it was painted a cream color over the ochre. The trim, center band, and emblem are absolutely perfect!

I am sure this was a new take off that someone purchased, repainted, and intended to put on their truck...but never did, or never used the truck much if they did.

Tailgate also comes with matching trunions and straps.

Asking $425, do not want to ship due to risk of damage, and I do not want to split it up at this time.
