Here we have a tailgate from an FC ute, its been sandblastered and shows some repairable rust in the lower section.
Pick up is from Victoria 3717 or could
possibly send it via pack&send at buyers expense.
$400-.

Saw this on bookface, thought it would sell straight away considering how hard these are to get nowadays

Yep that's the same one, I removed it from FB / marketplace on account of some of the expert opinions.

I thought that’d go quick too. Facebook is fraught.

Funny business Phil. Not that long ago it seemed like there were dozens of ute projects going, along with people seeking tailgates to re-skin. Rusty items were going for twice your asking price. I always like to keep spares, but I’ve managed to get my hands on a couple of reasonable ones. I reskinned the tailgate for my ute, and the original one from my van is pretty sound. I’ve even got one for my ute based trailer project that will probably ever happen, one day……….

i have a reasonable right guard someone with half a clue with a dolly and hammer should be able to knock it back in shape fairly easy and a small amount of rust, had on marketplace for a while now for $100 with absolutely no interest, i was looking at worse guards than this one 30+ years ago for $100, people will go nuts when i post the video of me running it over before i take it to scrap
