What are the chances of finding a decent tailgate for a 66 Long wheel base pickup. I searched the threads and it looks like some were being imported from Panama for awhile. Last message was in 06 though.

:confused:
 
check with loumass in panama, he was making some, Eshan in pakistan was making some also.
 
I believe TLC was bringing them in and someone else was advertising them too, Heritage? Check out Buckaroseau's 45 build up thread, he used one.

I just spoke with Paul (loumass) about something else. Anyway, according to him, all of his parts have to be ordered through CCOT now. He must have an agreement with them. For some reason, I thought this was now with IPOR, but Paul mentioned CCOT only a few days ago.

Not sure about Eshan.
 
I'll check with CCOT. Thanks for the help.
 
No luck on the CCOT website. I might give them a call Monday. Anybody know what the repro's were selling for?
 
When TLC had the Heritage tailgates in stock, they were running ~$700. They were super sweet. I wouldn't be surprised if they were more now.

I bought mine from Ehsan a couple of years ago. It was $500 plus shipping on a MUD bulk order. Also super sweet.

Can't go wrong with either one.

When will these be available? Are they available in the 3 hinge style? Without actually having a tailgate to look at, it doesn't seem like it would be too hard to modifiy one for 3 hinges.

Thanks

Ah, that is a GOOD POINT BRIAN! I had a feeling that Ehsan might have a ? with the 3 hinge hole pattern, so when I ordered mine, I sent him the measurements. He ended up sending the gate with no holes, so there was no question about lining them up. The Heritage gate does come with holes. 3 or 4. I have seen both.

Ehsan makes killer hardware too!

[]Toyrod, Sor has one for sale used, it is kinda pricey though:


That's a nice looking gate. Do the original hinge holes have threaded inserts?

I've had a couple of shortbeds but no longbeds, yet. The one I'm looking at is missing the tailgate and has an angle iron rack welded to the original lower hinges.

Thanks for all the responses.
