Title: Help!! Tgate needed
Post by: jazz475 on 2012-04-29 23:42
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.

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