Re: Foolish to think I can find a hugger orange tailgate?

Thought I'd post a couple of pics of the finished project after yesterday. New tailgate, swapped the step bumper for a sport bumper, and put on a hidden hitch. Will put on the tailgate trip and Chevrolet letters soon.

I wish I saw this yesterday, JRE. I would have joined for sure. Even though I was up to my elbows in the hidden hitch project. Do you guys have meetups often? If so, please let me know and I'll definitely join.

I have a excellent original paint green one in my rafters that I picked up a couple years ago for a $100...Theyre definitely out there.

Re: Foolish to think I can find a hugger orange tailgate?

I actually have a spare that came with the truck... its gold in colour but its in very good shape with no rust... I would definately trade it for an orange one if I found one in decent shape. Or I may decide to go ahead and have it painted up nicely, I thought it might look funny to have a nicely painted tailgate on a truck with original paint... in the mean time I will keep looking. I see there is a for sale section here, I will keep an eye out for what Im looking for. Thanks for the info!
