For future knowledge, this would fit a Blazer, right?

That is correct - The pickup fleetside tailgate will fit a Blazer. There is a small metal strip at the top of the Blazer tailgate that screws on that will need to transfered over to the new gate. Very easy to do.

Looks like myself, and breeh are bidding on it. We're local!

**breeh** · 05-14-2003, 04:27 PM

I am going to have to change my E-Bay ID

. Tell you what, you win that tailgate and I will trade you for the TH400!

progress · 05-14-2003, 04:38 PM

Hey, That is sweet...I need one of those! I guess I will hold off bidding since there is so much local competition on that one! It will be fun to see where it ends up!

**COBALT** · 05-14-2003, 05:42 PM

HA! Yeah right. Nice try, buddy.

I tell you what. Take the TH400 to a shop, have it rebuilt for performance including a Trans-go Shift kit and that TCI 2500 Converter I've been wanting and I will trade you. lol

Seriously, after 6 days I'd expect the bid to get over at least $400 if it's worth it. We'll see!

**breeh** · 05-14-2003, 06:57 PM

This is going to be fun! ...a game of poker. If COBALT is raising the bid to $400.00 then I might have to fold early.

ljbear · 05-14-2003, 08:35 PM

Ooh That's Nice. I'm in

I'm having trouble deciding on that or an original set of gauges for the Camaro.

Nice work truck! LOL

ljbear · 05-14-2003, 08:49 PM

It's rough, but someone's got to do it.

72MARIO · 05-14-2003, 10:42 PM

Man I paid 430 CDN after tax for a repo with lettering. That gate is worth at least 400 American !

**Joesjunk** · 05-14-2003, 11:51 PM

Look out, I am watching it too!!!

**breeh** · 05-15-2003, 11:10 AM

Come on COBALT, quit bidding that thing up! All the fun is in the last 20 seconds

**COBALT** · 05-15-2003, 12:36 PM

LOL Sorry. High stakes poker. I've got an amount I'm willing to pay in mind. The reserve hasn't been met anyway. I wonder if it's > $300?

Stroker · 05-15-2003, 10:25 PM

I can tell already this gates not going to be cheap. What's your guess $450?

Blue68 · 05-15-2003, 10:44 PM

Was black and white option on these trucks?

wHATANERD · 05-15-2003, 11:12 PM

Do you think the reserve will be met? this one will be interesting to watch.

**PICKMUP** · 05-15-2003, 11:42 PM

This TG is going to cost $$$$$$, so if your interested, you might want to ask the seller some questions: What year is it off of? If it is 71-2, where is the DB sticker? Is the paint dull, like it looks in the picture? Shouldn't it be "gloss" black?...and then just the old safe questions to cover all bases: Are there any dents? damage? problems of any kind? If it is one week old, then it is "perfect"---correct? Good luck, guys & maybe gals, too.

**breeh** · 05-17-2003, 01:36 AM

Over $300.00 now! I'm out, PICKMUP has lightened my wallet and I just had 4 bolt caps fitted to my next big block project.

*Phillip Johnson* · 05-17-2003, 02:40 AM

Black was mentioned a few posts up.. To me, it looks to be Green and white. If I thought $350 would buy it, i would bid. My guess it will hit $500 on the last day.. Ill be watching but it will most likely be too rich for my blood.. Wish I had bought a ton of these back in 72!

ljbear · 05-17-2003, 11:09 AM

It looks green and white to me as well. No black at all

Larry

BLAZIN'72 · 05-17-2003, 01:54 PM

It looks green to me too. It also looks like it's dented in the middle on the inside. " This is an original tailgate that is absolutely flawless, perfect in every way. " I'm sure it's about as close to perfect as your ever going to get but in my opinion alot of people use those descriptions to losely.

Class of 69 · 05-17-2003, 06:32 PM

I thought it looked scratched, and painted on the inside too, which means to me that it isn't flawless. I've seen "flawless" gates in Independance MO, and they weren't scratched! The price is already high enough for a "nice" original gate IMO.
