Give em the chair. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Evil Smile.gif chaps 08-01-2004, 11:20 PM I have a dark green tailgate off of a 03 silverado that i bought with the intent of shaving but have decided against it because the truck is too tall. It is in good condition and still has emblems, cap and stock cables. If someone is interested let me know, shippin wasn't cheap for me but It was packaged good and I still have to box and packing in my room. PM me if interested. I paid 400 plus shipping but would negotiate for a fellow member. And in the mean time im gonna look into gettin a lock for minehttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Ermm.gif akdiesel 08-02-2004, 02:22 AM Yep got the 500$ deductible.

The manufactures are cashing in on the a$$holes that are steeling them and the a$$holes are making money doing it. baimpala 08-02-2004, 10:44 PM What makes the tailgate worth over a grand ??????? I see takeoff bed's with the gates all the time for $800.00 or less..... Yeah, not to mention if you get the 'Pickup Bed Delete' option that is only worth $920.00 off the price of the truck. . .
