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

Common questions
How do I know it fits my truck?
This part is listed for 1973–1976 Chevy and GMC C10, C1500, C20, C2500, C30, C3500 and others. The full year, make and model list is in the Truck Compatibility tab on this page. If your truck has been modified, or you are between two of the year ranges we list, send us the year, make and model and we will confirm the fit before you order rather than after.
What if it is not right for the truck?
You have 30 days from delivery to request a return. The part needs to come back new, uninstalled and in its original packaging - once a part has been trimmed or welded it cannot go back. Return shipping is at your cost, and we ask that returns come by Canada Post. Made-to-order, sale and clearance items are final sale. The full terms are on our returns page.
Can I install this myself?
It is designed for an at-home install. Read the fitment notes and the Installation tab on this page before you start for anything that needs drilling, trimming or welding, and where an installation guide or video exists for the part it is linked there.
