71 GMC Tailgate for Sale

Selling a really nice GMC tailgate. Almost no bow at all, just light surface rust at the bottom where the paint was worn away. There are a couple small dents that I think were captured pretty well in the pictures but let me know if you want another view. There is no tailgate band. I bought it on here a couple of years ago for $300 + $60 shipping and never used it. Same deal applies today. $300 plus shipping.

Thanks.

Re: 71 GMC Tailgate for Sale

FedEx is showing a price of $101 to your zip code. If you want to get quotes from another company, the specs are as follows:
96 lbs
68" long
23" wide
5" thick
Insured for $300
My zip is 85705

It is in a wood crate.

Re: 71 GMC Tailgate for Sale

There are a couple dents on the very top but I don't think there are any in the face. I will double check tonight and take pictures of anything I find.

The crate is a 2 x 4 frame with chip board on both sides and then bubble wrap between the gate and wood.

Ok sounds good.

Just wondering how it was packed when shipped to you.Any protection on the corners of the tailgate inside the box ? Worried a little if bubble wrap alone will protect it enough along the trip.It is a long one.


Thanks.

I do not see any dents in the face, just the screw holes from the band.

The 2 x 4 frame is snug around the gate so that it cannot slide around in the box. The bubble wrap was between the gate and the chip board. I could easily put a small strip between the frame and chip board and put some foam in there too.
