Re: 1959 GMC 9310 Canadian built Shortbox Fleetside Deluxe

Looking for some input about a GMC tailgate.

I realize my 4 original tailgates just aren't worth putting on the truck. So I'm looking for a new one.
Mar K is my first choice but they don't stamp the "race track" around the GMC script...damn! I guess it could be painted on. I don't want to go without it as I do like it on there.
Classic seems to have a nice kit that includes an inside box release handle and support bars but I don't know anything about their quality. Can anyone share their experience with a Classic tailgate?
All other options seem to only offer the original design providing the hanging chain latch system which I don't want. Now I realize this can be modified once I get it but would prefer to just buy one ready to install.

So that leaves me with only one option it seems, Classic...unless you guys can suggest another option?
