(1947-53) Tailgate w/ Hidden Latches and Links - GMC

Stamped steel with correct bends, welds & lettering as original. This is usually the most damaged part of a truck & the most difficult to repair. This is a complete tailgate, not just a cover. Available for stepside beds only. The latches are inside the tailgate with only the knob visible on the inside. This tailgate is perfect for those who want the traditional tailgate without the chains, which are noisy and sometimes damage the paint finish. Included with the tailgate is a customizing kit to convert stock bed sides to work with the hidden latches and links.(OS-Item Inquire for freight charges)
