89 MJ Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 @eaglescout526, I think it is time for you to join the club. On a serious note, that price seems steep for one that has been painted. Also, I wonder why it has the hinges on it. I am looking at my NOS one now and it doesn't have the hinges. It seems like it has definitely been used some too. It could be shelf wear, but I would be willing to be that this tailgate was an early takeoff, not NOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that one from the pic is not NOS as most metal parts come from the factory in that powder coated black like why you and Pete have. That tailgate has been painted. Buttt. Who’s to say that it was ordered by a body shop, painted, customer canceled or never picked it up and it sat at the body shop for god who knows how long.

You do make a good point, but IMHO, painting a tailgate would make it no longer NOS, similar to putting a tire on an NOS wheel, even if it is never installed, I wouldn't call that wheel NOS.

89 MJ Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I am curious as to what those "dimples" are there for in the recessed parts of the tailgate. I don't think any of mine have that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 it's got hardware on it. and it's white. and it's not in a box. 'tis nice for sure, but it's hard to call that NOS without documentation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
