Tailgates
« on: June 28, 2002, 05:14:00 PM »
When a friend of mine and I were doing some work a few months ago, I picked up a tailgate off of a SWB bed that was abandoned on the property of the people that we were working for by the former occupant. I am cleaning it up and primering it, and may use it sometime. When we were taking it off, it did not slide out, we needed to take the hinge bracket off of the inside of the fender, where as mine (79) and my friend's (76) has a slot on the bracket that the gate just slides out of. So my question is this, what years was this used? The bed had no filler door, only the hole in the fender, so it would have been an earlier one. Anyone know? It has no bezel in the middle of the gate, and Chevrolet is written in in big, pressed letters all the way across the middle.
