Hi All,
I've got a 71 C10 in hugger orange that's very straight with almost no rust. The wear that's there is patina that I'd be happy keeping. I may or may not want to paint the truck someday. But the tailgate's shot. It works, but it's fully bowed out. The PO, let some heavy weight stuff slide into it and bend it out.

Ideally, I could find a decent tailgate in hugger orange so that I'm not forced to paint anything soon if I choose not to.

What are the odds of that?

Thanks,
Jeff
