NOS tailgate
I've got a shot at a nos tailgate! What is the best way to tell a nos one from a reproduction? Thanks in advance for any help

Re: NOS tailgate
It should have a GM sticker with part number on it.

Re: NOS tailgate
I haven't seen it yet so I don't know if it has the sticker on it, any other ways?

Re: NOS tailgate
Look for spot welds for a GM NOS. It's a dead giveaway. Aftermarket does not have the spot welds like GM did. Trevor

Re: NOS tailgate
The guy bought it from Weber Chevrolet 10 years ago and never used it. It has 2 small dings in it but rust free and It just so happen I put a down payment on a 1972 GMC big block short bed today. Here are a couple of pics

Re: NOS tailgate
