all 620 tailgates are the same. so 72.5-79 are teh years you can use. i have a spare gate but since we're not sure where you are, shipping could get expensive.

Thanks for the reply. I am in Seattle, WA. It would be shipped to my place of work in nearby Kirkland, WA 98033.

What condition is the tailgate in (dents, rust)? Would you consider sending a picture if I provided an e-mail address?

Would you be so kind as to provide me the total cost including shipping and your terms?

I would make the transaction so that you get the money as soon as possible. I just got rear ended two days ago.

Thanks,

Mike

i am in seattle almost every weekend. i live just outside Monroe. i could deliver since it would be going to kirkland or even seattle. thats not a problem for me. i can take a few pics tomorrow and post em here. its not perfect but its a good useable one. there are some small dents and some minor rust from what i remember but anything is better than a smashed one.

well its in much better shape than i remember. there is some rust, nothing major though and 2 small dents, again, nothing major. the rust will be taken care of when you paint to match and i wouldn't worry about the 2 small dents, unless your anal about perfection.

just click the images to see em better. as for price, given the condition and the lack of shipping required, $50??? i am somewhat flexible on the price though, so just let me know.

Thanks for the tailgate and smooth transaction.

Any chance you may have an ignition switch with key for sale? I have an ittermittent starting problem that resolves with multiple turns of the key. Tried starter, battery is good as well as terminals.
