Tailgate – Plain – 73-76 Chevy GMC CK Fleetside Truck

Reproduction Tailgate – Plain Style, 1976 1st Design | 1973–1976 Chevy GMC C/K Fleetside Pickup | Blazer Jimmy without Rollup Back Glass

18 Gauge OE Quality Steel | EDP Coated | Stamped on New Tools | Direct-Fit Reproduction

Replace the worn, rusted, or damaged tailgate on your early square-body Chevy or GMC with this premium reproduction unit. Stamped from 18 gauge OE quality steel on new tooling, this tailgate matches the original in shape, size, bends, and hole placement — delivering a factory-correct fit that bolt-on and go restorers and serious builders alike can count on.

Built to Original Specifications

This is a plain-style tailgate correct for 1973–1976 Fleetside pickups and 1976 1st design models specifically. Every detail is dialed in — from the EDP coating that guards against rust from day one, to the precise contours that integrate seamlessly with your existing bodywork.

Important Fitment Notes:

• ⚠️ 1976 1st Design — correct for models using a bolt to attach the link to the tailgate. If your truck uses a stud, you need the 2nd Design tailgate instead
• ⚠️ Does not include provision for the Blazer or Jimmy rear window — not compatible with Hardtop/Removable Top versions
• ⚠️ Fits Fleetside bed models only — not for Stepside

Product Highlights:

• ✅ 18 gauge OE quality steel — stamped on new tools for accurate reproduction geometry
• ✅ Correct shape, size, bends, and holes — like original, no modifications needed
• ✅ EDP coated (Electro Deposit Primer) for built-in rust and corrosion protection
• ✅ Plain finish — period-correct look for a clean, authentic restoration
• ✅ Direct-fit replacement for a seamless, factory-style installation
