New tail gate!!!
Picked up a nice TG a few weeks ago..RED I figured I would never find the correct color...WELL went to the last swap meet for the season here in Minnasnowda and as I was buying a window reg from a guy who was driving a multi colored 70 GMC I noticed the color of the TG he was sitting on,asked if I could see it and said to him that it was to bad it was the correct color but I needed a Chevy gate.He replied well it is a Chevy..so I flipped it up and this is what I saw!!!!!!!He traded me even up since it was just a work truck and so there it is!!!!YA HOOOO!!!

Re: New tail gate!!!
Nice find on the tailgate!
I don't think I have seen a rear bumper like yours before. Do you know anything about it (original, aftermarket)?

Re: New tail gate!!!
No idea!Funny thing is the plate doesn't fit..the bottom 2 inches have to bend with the bumper to fit???Heavy as heck but it will be gone by the weekend,I have a sport bumper at the sand blasters.CJ.

Re: New tail gate!!!
That is a great find. Buy yourself a lottery ticket.

Re: New tail gate!!!
Must be a minnesota thing. I found the identical take off gate on sat at a junkyard. Same color, same chrome... Nice score for you.
