WTB nice Chevrolet tailgate - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

chevy_fatman · 08-27-2003, 07:38 PM

I'm looking to buy a very nice and straight OEM chevy tailgate for my '71 blazer, I've heard that the truck one would also fit (there's a strip on top of the blazer one, which I already have and that's the only difference that I know of)

I'll pay top price for right one, let me know what what you guys have.

Thank you. Paul.

I have 2 really nice gate's, e-mail me if your still looking. boytoytrading@yahoo.com

chevy_fatman · 08-29-2003, 07:09 PM

6772king, here's a pic of what I want mine to look like (no letters)
it'd be a crime to do something like that to new takeoff tailgate.

boytoytrading, sending you an e-mail.

Still looking for original tailgate in nice shape

I don't want to buy a repro, unless I don't find original.

6772king · 09-01-2003, 10:38 AM

how nice of one do you want and what is your top price you want to pay?? There is a guy that sells southern truck parts up the road from my work I can look tommarow and get you a pic with price (my guess just from delling with him for years--100-175 dollers) Later Sean

chevy_fatman · 09-01-2003, 11:32 AM

I want to get one as nice as they get, as long as is not bowed on top or big dents in the inside, rust surface is ok, 100-175 doesn't seem to bad, I'll pay top price for a nice worthy one, Thanks for checking on that for me.

Paul.

6772king · 09-01-2003, 12:18 PM

B.T.W. you are planning on filling the letters of an oem right ? just making sure we are on the same page.

chevy_fatman · 09-01-2003, 01:52 PM

6772king, Yeah that's what I want to do to the tailgate and maybe also relocate the latch to the inside.

hughnews1 · 09-01-2003, 02:11 PM

junkyardjohn · 09-01-2003, 06:08 PM

I HAVE A FEW CHEVY & GMC TAILGATES. $125 + SHIPPING

chevy_fatman · 09-01-2003, 06:24 PM

John, I got your e-mail sent you another one.

Thank you. Paul.

Burnsman · 09-02-2003, 09:01 AM

Paul, I have a couple. I think there is one that fits what you are looking for. I wasn't going to seperate it from the bed, but what the hell. It's a chevy with upper/lower trim still attached. Straight. No rust. $150. I'd prefer not to ship. Let me know if you need a pic. Thanks.

chevy_fatman · 09-02-2003, 10:36 AM

Burnsman, please send me some pics of the tailgate, sending you a pm in a minute here.

Thank you. Paul.

Burnsman · 09-04-2003, 01:19 PM

Paul, here is a pic of the tailgate (my digital camera stinks). The gate is straight and rust free (has a few very small spots of surface rust. I'm not sure if you can tell from the pic or not, but there is a slight dent by the letter E. I would like to get $150 for the tailgate. Or if you want the whole bed, I'd let it go for $200 (I need the room in my garage). Driver bedside is excellent, front panel is good. Pass side has very slight rust above wheelwell. The floor has a few spots that would need patches welded in (about 3 spots 4" in diameter). Suprisingly, the rails underneath seem to be good. Let me know if you need any more pics. Thanks.

bedside

chevy_fatman · 09-04-2003, 01:45 PM

Thanks for the pics Brian, could you get me a better pic of that dent? what's that grayish area by the left taillight?

Thanks. Paul.

Burnsman · 09-04-2003, 02:09 PM

Paul, the grayish area is where someone sprayed some white paint over some surface rust. I will try to capture the dent in a better picture, but I'm not sure you will be able to see it. It is a very gradual dent. It may stick in about 1/4" at the deepest spot and might cover a 12" long area. I had the same type of dent in my 67. My neighbor had a stud type dent puller (it welds a small stud to the dent). He then used a slide hammer and it popped out. The tailgate is straight (and even the backside isn't beat up). But it does have surface rust on a spot or two and the dent. I should have a pic by tomorrow.

Burnsman · 09-06-2003, 02:20 PM

Remember, my camera is a POS. But this should give you the idea.

if all else fails I have brand new ones w/ out letters for 150.00 and they arent the cheap ones that dent if you lean on them, and if you want to see one (the one in the pic has a banner and trim on it) this is one we had painted and we put on 2 days before world of wheels because our NOS one that we saved for the truck was twisted http://www.****************.com/ww2003/WW6.jpg

chevy_fatman · 09-06-2003, 07:10 PM

Burnsman, sent you a pm.

rickspickuppart, who manufactures those tailgates?

Thank you. Paul.
