Replace your damaged, dented, or rusted tailgate with this 1981-87 Square Body Chevrolet Fleetside Truck Tailgate Panel with Chevrolet Embossed. Built as a complete tailgate assembly, this is not a thin skin overlay. It is made to restore the correct factory look and strength to the rear of your truck.
Just like the original GM tailgates, CHEVROLET is embossed directly into the steel, giving your truck that classic factory appearance. This tailgate is formed from heavy 18-gauge steel for long lasting durability and proper fit. The entire surface is EDP coated to help protect against rust and corrosion and to provide a solid base for paint.
This is a great choice for restorations, repairs, or upgrading a tailgate that has been bent from years of use. Designed for Fleetside beds only (not Stepside).
This tailgate is sold as the complete tailgate shell, but it does not include Tailgate handle, Latches, rods, or inside release components, Hinges or cables and Mounting hardware. You will reuse your original parts or purchase new components separately.
