Tailgate????

stepsidejay · 04-09-2009, 11:45 PM

This should be a easy one!!! I went fishing with my son yesterday, parked my truck on the side of the road by the local bridge! Came back to go home and noticed some dumie(nice words) had stole my tailgate off my blue baby!!

So what im wondering is what all year models would fit on mine. Gonna hit up the local junk yards and get one and have it painted!! Its A 1992 Chevy Silverrado Single Cab SWB Step Side. And when im looking for one is the reg bed and the step side bed tailgate the same size?? One good note for the day was my son hooked a Nice Channel Cat!! Even tho i had to reel it in 4 him!

Step side tailgates are different and usually more money.

Sorry to hear about your tailgate. when I first bought my truck I bought a lock for mine a hose clamp will work as well or a tie strap.

Hey jay, you might forget the tailgate,
but I bet he won't forget the fish.
Seems a good day all told.

Say Jay I seen a whole bed in Liberty, Texas now I don't know if there using it but I don't think so because it's been on the same spot forever. I seen your from TEXAS but I don't know from what part.

Bummer, to lose a tailgate. Obviously they needed worse than you did, Right??? A-holes. Nice fish. Your son looks scared of it. He'll probably like it better on his plate.

stepsidejay · 04-11-2009, 03:15 PM

Ya well what i need is the year models that would fit!! i know its a pretty wide range

hotrodpc · 04-11-2009, 03:42 PM

88-98 should fit it for sure. If you are calling around to salvage yards, they know what interchanges. Just tell them what you have and need, they will tell you of they have it.

For a temporary solution, you could just buy a tailgate net, they run about $30 & look decent.
