Just went through my second tgate at the sandblasters...ouch. Too much rust up here in the northwest it looks like. Anybody got any good leads on a (reasonable)rust free or fixable tgate for my Ranchero? Would appreciate any help!
Thx
A station wagon tailgate will also work, I have one on my Ranchero.

Check with "The Ranchero Wizard's" widow. She is still doing the Ranchero thing. He had several tail gates when I bought mine from him. It was a wagon gate and he sent every part needed for the Ranchero. Some one her may know the number, it was listed in a thread some time ago.
not too hard to re skin it from the handle down.
try www.kolars1957fordparts.com he got me one rust free for my sedan-delivery

If the previously discussed leads don't work out, try Steve Pierce, also in Souther California.
