Got my Fleet Tailgate! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Wohoo! My fleet gate came in today!

Got it from HartRod. Thanks bud

There was a couple spots on it that appeared to be shipping damage

but overall it's just as Rob said it was.

It is COMPLETELY rust free. There are no dents on the outside skin. The top has a very slight bow (which I knew about) but it's only noticable when you look straight down the gate.

This thing weighs double what the repo's I looked at Carlisle weighed.

Now I need to finish up getting hitched (end of Sep.) and buy our first home so I can get to work on my new (to me) fleet bed and parts

With gas prices being retarded... I may be going for a frame off on the old girl... stay tuned....

The gate looks good! Good luck with the wedding... it's a major pain in the A#%, been there (09/06) done that.

You changing to fleet side?

Congrats on the wedding. Hope everything goes as planned.

Sweet Gate Jesse.....

So you thinking about frame off now.....better start ASAP so the wife to be can't tell you that you can't!!!

This way you have an excuse to get it back together and spending that $$$$

Congrats on the wedding....I know you're excited, and keep us up to date on your "possible" frame off!!!!

By the way....that gate will look really great on that REALLY COOL fleetside bed you got!!!!

Wedding planning is going well, 95% done. It was a "package deal" from one of those outdoor places (beautiful old horse farm) that's well established. They do most everything for you, or just have "packages" you chose from for how you want to set it up. We booked the date like 8 months ago and there was only one weekend left for the entire fall, funny thing is, it's the day after our 5 year dating anniversary

Anyway, we basically had a list of vendors to choose from and we've contacted all of them and picked out the food, cake, music, a good friend of mine will be the minister, she has her dress, really all that's left is sending out invitations. Jena had a month off before she started her new job to take care of most everything.

As far as the frame off... that's still a loooooooong ways off. I'll be able to get the bed near 100% completion before I ever touch the truck

Who knows, she might be a hybrid electric truck by then... anything to keep this hobby alive....
