OR Never Mounted GM Tailgate - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Blue/72** · 05-02-2016, 12:03 AM

This tailgate is absolutely perfect. It was purchased in 1973 or so for a 1971 k20 but the truck was T-boned before it could be installed it sad in the guest bedroom until now. This tailgate is perfect. Not one small dent anywhere and it's not bowed. I have all 3 pieces of trim to go with it also. It has a few paint runs but aren't visable when the tailgate is installed and the CHEVROLET letter stickers are on. Asking $1150 plus shipping OBO

We should try to work something out on that tailgate.

I would be looking for work right now.

If you are interested just send me a pm if you need to figure something out and I'm sure we can sort it out

**70cst** · 05-03-2016, 08:30 AM

Very nice

35boulder · 05-03-2016, 08:58 AM

Nice piece for someone.

**Blue/72** · 05-03-2016, 11:36 AM

Thanks guys

**Blue/72** · 05-04-2016, 01:58 PM

Bump. I also have the tailgate hinges to go with

**Blue/72** · 05-08-2016, 09:36 PM

Bump $1000 even. Would also do part trade for a NOS or perfect 69-72 black steering wheel, NOS 71-72 sport mirrors, NOS 71-72 front bumper or NOS custom/10Deluxe badges in perfect GM condition

CG · 05-09-2016, 12:08 AM

That would be a really cool gate for someone that is planning on or has a truck in that color. Almost a shame though to have to strip it down and change the color =(

**Blazerowner** · 05-09-2016, 03:00 AM

I've been thinking about this for my blazer but I am worried about the shipping. Wish you were closer.

Normally greyhound is pretty good for bigger items like this

I have a set of NOS Sport Mirrors that I can offer in partial trade that I purchased from this thread:
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...ight=nos+sport
I decided not to use them and go with the below eyeline mirrors that I coincidentally purchased from you.

Could you do $850 Postal Money Order + the mirrors shipped to you for the tailgate + trim and hinges shipped to me?

I will do that as long as you can pay shipping on mirrors and the tailgate. If that sounds good just send me a pm and we can figure out payment and shipping

**Blazerowner** · 05-09-2016, 04:56 PM

Can you give me a quote for the 1000 with shipping through greyhound?

Lets just call it $1150 shipped with greyhound but I'd like to give jonlopes till tomorrow afternoon to decide as he was the first to make an offer if that's okay with you

**MidLifer** · 05-09-2016, 08:47 PM

Not to pee on this thread but I recently tried shipping a newer tailgate Greyhound and by the time I crated it up it was over their weight limit of 100 lb. I found out that Central Transport offers really competitive shipping rates without an account so long as you have a loading dock/business address at both ends and afaik they are in all 50 states. I screwed the crate to a skid and got it shipped from NJ to GA for $125. They will give you a courtesy quote on their website and you can send it freight collect at no extra cost. (COD however is an extra charge).

BTW that's an awesome gate. You should build a crate for it and line the crate with foam, and not try to ship it in cardboard.

**Blue/72** · 05-15-2016, 04:17 PM

Bump

**Blue/72** · 05-22-2016, 10:21 PM

Bump to the top!

$975 plus ship

**special-K** · 05-23-2016, 07:00 AM

This can be crated at under 100# for Greyhound shipping. I have tailgates from all over shipped that way. I've never had a handling issue with Greyhound

**invicta455** · 05-24-2016, 11:46 AM

I'd do 900.00 shipped right now
