NOS tailgate
I've got a shot at a nos tailgate! What is the best way to tell a nos one from a reproduction? Thanks in advance for any help

Re: NOS tailgate
It should have a GM sticker with part number on it.

Re: NOS tailgate

Re: NOS tailgate
Look for spot welds for a GM NOS. It's a dead giveaway. Aftermarket does not have the spot welds like GM did. Trevor

Re: NOS tailgate
