I believe this faded red Chevy tailgate is from the mid 1970s. There is surface rust on the top rail, but no where is the steel rusted through anywhere on the gate. Some minor dings, but overall in good shape and in very usable condition. Comes with all the required hardware as shown. Fairly straight overall, except the dents in the top rail. I included the pics of the (2) green and white gates for comparison of year and style. Again, it’s the red gate that I’m selling.
