M37 tailgate value

[Paddyofurniture]

I am thinking about listing my extra M37 tailgate on Ebay.​

​

This tailgate is in very nice shape and is tailgate only, it does not include the tool rack.​

​

What is the going rate for a M37 tailgates?​

​

Thanks,​

That would depend on what your version of real nice shape is . Look and compare the shape and price on Ebay or other listing service to what yours is like. Then price accordingly.

bump,

surfing craigslist I found a guy with some M37 parts. He said he had a tailgate but wants 250 for it. I requested a photo but havent heard from him.

This seems quite high but Im not sure..... any input?



PS
anyone have a photo of a tailgate and hinge brackets? my M37 had a bumper and short bed extension for a slide in water tank (ex fire rig)

THanks!!!

I put up pics in your tailgate and bumper post.

I heard a while back that Vintage Power Wagons was about the only "supplier" that had tailgates and they are getting $550. I have not checked on that directly to confirm.

I paid $550 for a new one for the gun truck project. On the other end, I have one that is really beat up and has some very poor rewelding done to it that I can't sell for $50. Perhaps if I relist at $20 I might have a couple bites. If you find a good used one, I'd shoot somewhere in the middle of that range.

I've seen used tailgates go for $100 to $350 depending on condition...

I'd try listing it for $100.00 first.... you never know......

This thread is 8 years old with the last post 4 1/2 years ago , I'm sure they are long gone by now.

I posted this pic about 6 or 7 yrs ago for a NOS tailgate I have. Was asking $600 I think. You would thought I had bad mouthed the Commandant. Price will vary with what kind of project you are looking to do. A show truck will need a better tailgate which is more $$$ or body work, a trail truck can get by with anything serviceable. IMHO.

Semper Fi !!

I paid $750 for a tailgate last year and was very happy with the deal.

Vintage Dodge is out of tail gate ,right now they're working on mass production of the tail gate but have not come up with a working prototype yet.

 

[kdaniels]

There was a guy a number of years back (2008 ?) that was doing sheet metal for jeeps and some other stuff like the M37 tailgates. I can't remember his name but I talked with him @ Aberdeen one year when he did a few prototype tailgates. I later learned he had died before he could refine his effort. Some on this forum with sharper memories than myself will remember his name. The problem is the tooling to reproduce an item with a once in a blue moon customer is NOT CHEAP and the quality content of the steel (pre B1 model) is not available to us today. My parts truck tailgates are beyond salvage, as they have been modified by fire dept's and would require extensive (expensive) refurb.



SEMPER FI !!

From what I was told, they sold the tooling for the tailgate so they could be made by another party. The tooling was returned to them due to low quality issues of the tooling. If they start building tailgates themselves, I would be very cautious of them.
