Tailgate & other parts ....
I'm in search of a tailgate for my 71 Chevy c20 longhorn. It has the stamped CHEVROLET. Someone told me that you cannot get replacement (overseas) gates with it stamped .... copyright issue.
Anyone know a dealer that would have good used parts? Thanks, Tom |

Re: Tailgate & other parts ....
actually, I am pretty sure you CAN get one with the stamping.
But I wouldn't want it. I would search for a nice used one myself. |

Re: Tailgate & other parts ....
They Bow real easy and will not stand up to normal abuse that an original tailgate from the factory would. There are many dissatisfied people on here and they will tell you to find a nice original used one. Repos are best for show trucks. Hope that helps.
Respectfully Forgive me board Vendors, it is not my intention to persway someone away from a potential sale?

   This is my spare! Every now and then a NOS gate shows up. I guess it's just a matter of being in the right place at the right time (and having a little folding money in your pocket )
