Lets see your rare NOS Parts...

This is another reason some people don't understand why we collect NOS parts. We will eventually use these parts on our trucks or possibly trade our parts for other parts.

maybe, but , this is why my trucks tailgate will not be factory
because n.o.s. people see as gold, and sorry it's stamped steel..
and as much as I'll hate replacing mine if It can't be fixed, with an offshore part. I refuse to pay a kings ransom for sheetmetal , if it was a vehicle that the part wasn't aval. I'd have no choice, but with these trucks and the fact it might get used, n.o.s. is to costly for a driver,

So true. I've paid a preminum for parts that are hard to find, but I don't think I could ever spend $800 for a NOS tailgate when a repo can be had for around $200.

Sometimes you get what you pay for. We had a customer that ended up buying 2 really nice used tailgates form us (not NOS $800 ones but $4-500 gates). One was for his and the other for his wife's truck.

He had already bought a aftermarket gate and had the body work done and had it painted for his truck. He said the first time he shut it good it put two dents in it from his hands. Thats when he bought our original gates.

There may be some good repos out there but I bet this guy had more money in the cheap gate when the paint\work was done.
