Usually picture posting problems means the picture is too big. Try making it smaller and see if that works.

Re: 73-74 gmc camper take off tailgate

Rare piece well rare as they come on these lol. From a year of "bad" sheet metal. May consider trades for who knows what. Or partial trades.

Thanks for looking. I've got a good reputation here for good parts and honest descriptions

Re: 73-74 gmc camper take off tailgate

This is a really hard to find piece! I really can't imagine why no one has bought this! I guess there are not enough 73-74 GMC trucks being restored!

Re: 73-74 gmc camper take off tailgate

This is a a fair price... I think. 600 shipped is where I was at which is fair too I think considering there's 100 in shipping probably. So 400 is nearly a bargain considering its not being repoped and I can almost guarantee it won't be. There is no pitting on the rust you see. Thanks for the bump 1774. I know the last one I saw sell on here was in way way way worse shape and brought good money

Re: 73-74 gmc camper take off tailgate

At one point, Yezzi was looking for a green GMC tailgate. I was going to sell him mine, but mine had been repainted once in about 1985. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...t=green&page=9

I just missed a red/white letter Chevrolet camper take off locally for only $150. I tried to snag it today but it was already gone. Dang thing was holy grail perfect by pictures. I know one company that used their take offs as shelving in their garage rafters and drilled holes in them to screw them down!!! AAAAAAAAARRRRRRAAAAAGGGGGHHHH!!!!

Good luck and bump!

Re: 73-74 gmc camper take off tailgate

I know this is a very old thread, but is the gate still available?

Re: 73-74 gmc camper take off tailgate

I would say that the ad is old enough that if he does still have it I would bet the price has went up. Squarebody stuff is selling for a lot more than when he originally posted it. There is a 73-74 gate here in town but it isn't anywhere as nice as that one

Re: 73-74 gmc camper take off tailgate

I have 3 of these gates, they are rare and guys like me won't sell them. This one looks pretty darn good. Mine all have the letters, tailgate band and trim holes. I agree $400 is a good deal

I’ve got a mint condition one for an 87 up V3500, trim panel and lights on it. Everyone says I’m pricing it too high at $500.... everyone loves to say “You can buy a brand new re-pop for $199, blah blah blah”

I’m beginning to think that i am crazy!

You know what you've got and its value. It's probably worth that price in wall art.
