Stats of Tailgate:
TriPlus Automotive
Weight: 60.00 lbs
Gauge of Metal: 18 ga.

Reproduciton tailgate for the 67-72 Chevrolet / GMC C/K Fleetside Pickup, 1969-1972 Chevrolet Blazer & 70-72 GMC Jimmy

Stamped from 18 gauge, OE quality steel on new tools. Each premium tailgate features the correct shape, size, bends and holes, like original. EDP coated to help protect against rust and corrosion.

Here on the forms I read a few very old postings and they were not very positive on TriState. Though I read a number of positive reviews on these tailgates (Stepside, Chevy/GMC stamped, and Blanks) were the TriState part# matched at various resellers. I also called up AMD and they do not have a pattern of returns, other than ones that arrive damaged.

It is interesting that the one from GMCPauls is listed as 19 gauge and this one is 18 gauge. Anyways, so long as this one is exceeds the quality and strength of the one I am replacing, I'll be happy.

Edit: photos of tailgate. Brother says only some minor dents that are to be expected and seem of good quality
