Hello! I have a 1985 K5 Blazer Silverado and am looking for companies who manufacture or distribute new tailgate shells for mid 80s Blazers. I've made a lot of calls and searched online but I'm not finding anything. Any ideas? Thank you in advance!

Go with a soft top and you can use a pickup tailgate

Never thought of that, but my plan is to put a rooftop tent on the hardtop so it wouldn't be possible.

With 11 years worth of 80s and early 90s blazers needing tailgates, you would think at least one company would be producing them. It seems easy enough to find 73-80 tailgates.
