Motivation is coming back...

Last October I was rearened in my truck....2 years of getting it on the road come to a halt and created a bummed out attitude. I am gettin some motivation and need some help. I need to replace my tailgate and I am not sure to go back with the stock "Chevrolet" stamping or get the plain one with nothing at all. Here are a few before and after shots. By the way, do any of you guys in the Dallas area buy any body panels here?? I would love to save some cash on shipping and get some additional things!!! Let me know what you all would do with the tailgate! I am also planning on deleting the chains and doing the hidden latches. I just need to figure out the best way to attach something to hold the gate up when it is down.

Jonathan, call nelda at Keystone. 972.764-2313 is her direct number. They may have the body panels you need.

Re: Motivation is coming back...

First off thats a nice truck you have there. I like the letters as well but I could see going with a smooth gate or one with some louvers in it seeing as your truck has a slight custom look to it but if it was more stock I would say letters all the way.

I honestly think a sport bumper and some of the smaller sport mirrors with a lettered gate would look awesome on your truck.

Try this place. We purchase a lot of body parts from them. I have purchased some for my restore.

I personally like Mar-K's setup for eliminating the chains and still having arms to hold up the tailgate. I'm not sure if you can get that on a tailgate with the Chevy letters, though.
