Just emailed. $2300 buck shipped. With hinges. All three gates....... Seems reasonable when you consider the prices people are asking for used.

depending on the condition of the truck if the gates need to be near mint you are going to spend that money just straightening the used set!

Thanks guys, the help is appreciated.  I bought the truck with no gates, the PO was using it just as a flat deck.

$2300!! That's more than I paid for the truck! lol_hitting

Very cool, what's the deal with the 74+ gas filler on the RH side and what looks like another on the left?

Title: Re: WTB: '71 double cab gates

Is it a different filler than what it should be? Not sure why...from what it looks like underneath, it once had two tanks? From the M-tag I got the information that the production date was September 16th,1969 and originally blue in color. I'm going to try keep it as original as possible(within budget!) so I may change out that filler if it's not correct.

Well Sept 69 would make it a 70 but the filler on the right is 74+ and the filler on the left is just wierd, it should have a recessed filler well with a door.

Odd truck indeed, flat doglegs and flared rears like a 71 but a late gas filler. What do the tail lights and front bumper mount look like?
