Thanks for your help Robert | | | | | Joined: Nov 2001 Posts: 122 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2001 Posts: 122 | The tailgate prior to '54 (AKA '47 - '53) won't fit a '54 that is the year they changed from the angled bed sides to the flat bed sides. from '54 on up into at least the mid '60's, (I'm sure someone will chime in with the correct year), the tailgates for the stepside beds were all the same. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 1,745 Member | | Member Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 1,745 | It is even better than that. The stepside tailgate is the same from 1954 through 1987. One can be bought at your local GM dealership. Though not cheap.
Mechainiac, your auction doesn't mention the year of your gate.

That is good to know  the lettering design (script) is different through the yaers though. Someone should post a better pic of that tailgate if they wanted to sell it. :rolleyes:
