I know this is a long shot, but it's worth a try. I am looking for a 1981-1983 GMC (could be a chevy tailgate too) carmine red tailgate. Must be original paint and not repainted, or at least recently repainted. It can have a few dents and dings and be a little bit bowed, but I'm not looking for something that's wasted. I'm trying to match it to my truck. It can have patina too, but I'm not looking for something that is mostly surface rust. I have a super straight original 81-91 GMC tailgate with only two very shallow dents that we could maybe work out a trade deal on. If yours came off a two tone truck and has a small strip of the second color at the bottom, that's fine too, as my truck is tan below the trim line and I can paint that part myself.
