NOS tailgate vs aftermarket

[djgebert]

Got a question guys/gals. I have a perfect NOS fleetside tailgate for my resto job. How good/bad are the aftermarket stamped gates? I am doing a streetrod type resto so I am not really concerned with the fact that the NOS is more "correct". I am considering selling the NOS gate because I can buy an aftermarket gate and a cowl hood and some misc. with the $ they are going for and thus would have more to spend elsewhere. My main concern is do the better quality aftermarket gates fit well? I looked at one that Harmons has and see they don't have the small spot weld marks, but other than that they looked pretty much the same. Thanks!!!
