OH Rust and pit free chevy tailgate - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**DA68** · 09-05-2010, 02:17 PM

Basically rust and pit free tailgate, already soda blasted and ready for a little bit of metal work. This gate is perfectly straight across the lettering and the bottom, but has a slight in and out bow at the top. It appears to be mostly in the outer metal and an easy fix. I ran a taught construction line down both sides of the top and you can make out the slight, 1/8" gap in the one picture. The soda blasting makes the imperfections difficult to spot, so I have circled the two slight creases (outside top), one ding (outside top) and the shallow dent (inside bottom). The inside, shallow dent is roughly 1.5" big and and easy fix with a stud puller; I was going to use a shallow coat of mud for the slight top bow. I think this gate could be perfect with very little work, plus it has already been blasted and only needs minor prep work. I want to be perfectly honest with the description. For a daily driver, it is a perfect gate. For a show truck, it needs minimal metal work to be perfect. Price reduced to $400 for gate and shipping anywhere in the US.

what means of ship will you use for this? can i get a price to 62312? thanx rich

**DA68** · 09-05-2010, 08:48 PM

I've shipped two other gates by UPS and found them to be the cheapest. It looks like shipping to 62312 will be roughly $60. Let me know.

**DA68** · 09-06-2010, 05:12 PM

ttt - Rich 67 - you interested?

**DA68** · 09-08-2010, 11:39 PM

Price reduced. $400 will cover the gate and shipping. Will consider offers.

fayettecopa · 09-09-2010, 12:00 PM

Any hardware with the gate?

**DA68** · 09-09-2010, 01:35 PM

I have both latches and trunions and might be able to scrounge up more parts.

My 14 year old son is getting ready to start his project this Fall - 68 GMC.
Truck is 3/4 ton and was set up for a 5th wheel. Has some aftermarket wire mesh gate.
He'd like to switch to chevy - we have the grill. Need a tailgate.
You're near Cleveland?

**DA68** · 09-09-2010, 04:25 PM

Just 1/2 hour west of Cleveland, in Avon. Zip code 44011.

Will you take $250 for the gate and hardware?
If so I can send it paypal now, and not this Friday but next Friday I can send $60 for shipping

Has anybody asked or checked to see if this gate is OE or after market??
I'd go $300.00 shipped to 98072 ??? if it's OE.

**DA68** · 09-20-2010, 12:37 PM

I can tell by the weight it is definately O.E.
The price is $300 + shipping.

VA72C10 · 09-20-2010, 05:27 PM
