Custom tailgate for truck or Jimmy, need help/thoughts
Quote:
After reading this, I got to thinking about fabbing a tailgate for my Jimmy. Has anyone else made a tailgate for their trucks? If so how about a pic or two. Also some pics of the 73-87 tailgates on the 67-72 trucks.

I've seen one too. It is one step better than nothing at all.
And even that is arguable. |
