Tailgate Question

Do the CST tailgates, like theses, still have "CHEVROLET" stamped underneath them?

Re: Tailgate Question

Yes. All the original gates CST or not had CHEVROLET stamped in them. There are several threads on this forum that talk about it and offer up pictures as examples.

If it's an original. If not it could be either one.

Re: Tailgate Question

You can buy an aftermarket tail gate with "Chevrolet" stamped in it but I don't recommend them either. They do not fit well at all.

Re: Tailgate Question

O.E. gates are much heavier,i wouldn't sit on an aftermarket tailgate. The body lines
won't match.
