W.T.B. 71 GMC Tailgate
I am looking for a good tailgate for a 71 GMC Sierra. If it is straight, rust free, and not too dented then I am interested. If anyone in Arizona has one I could come and pick it up, otherwise I would pay to have one shipped.
Thanks |

Re: W.T.B. 71 GMC Tailgate
Here's the best one I have. Original paint with a few small dings. No rust. $200 plus $95 shipping on Greyhound bus. Currently on a Jimmy, but was originally a truck gate. Thanks, Sharpie

Re: W.T.B. 71 GMC Tailgate
I have a decent gate with just a couple small pin holes of rust at the bottom if interested. I'll get pictures later.

Re: W.T.B. 71 GMC Tailgate
Sharpie, That one looks pretty good. I have never really paid attention to a blazer, is the piece that is screwed on the backside the only thing that separates a pickup and blazer tailgate? I assume you added it because of the blazer?
I am a little concerned about what it would take to get that dent out of the top. What are your thoughts on what it would take to get that out? |

Re: W.T.B. 71 GMC Tailgate
I have a near perfect GMC gate that still has original paint. I was told that it was taken off when the truck was a year or two old. It is VERY nice. Ive been hanging on to it for a few years, but doubt Ill ever have a GMC to use it on. I might sell it for the right price. Not sure if the shipping would kill the deal or not. If youre interested, PM me your email and I will send you some pictures.

Re: W.T.B. 71 GMC Tailgate
I have a nice orginal one in storage but I would only ship truck freight due to damage which would run you around $150.00 for shipping and I want $400.00 for tailgate I will dig it out and get pictures if you are really truly interested? Thanks Tim

Re: W.T.B. 71 GMC Tailgate
Here's one off a 1970. It is in excellent condition with only a couple minor dings. The finish panel is in excellent condition. I have taken the panel screws for my 72 if interested I will try to find some replacements. 375.00 plus shipping.

Re: W.T.B. 71 GMC Tailgate
I'm looking for a 1972 GMC LWB tailgate too. I'm doing a patina restoration,so I need a medium blue t/g that is rust and dent free and faded paint. My tailgate is rust free, but bent out about an inch from heavy loads?

Re: W.T.B. 71 GMC Tailgate
More pics for Metalspatter. I circled all the dings with a marker. The only ding on the outside is just below top as the pic shows.
