I thought the same thing, but they do not list it in their current catalog. I checked both the online version and the latest print version. Neither had the K5 tailgate. They list pretty much every other part that goes into the tailgate and they do list the 'burb tailgate, but not the K5. At least not the shell that has a window in it. They do list the "without removable hardtop" tailgate which is the same tailgate that came on the square body pickups.

I would keep an eye on eBay and Craigslist. I found both of my spare tailgates on Craigslist for a combined $250. One was just a shell, but the other was a complete power tailgate. Both were OE GM tailgates with zero rust.

thats surprising they dont sell the full tailgate. i been buying stuff off LMC for my 52 chevy truck and you can pretty much buy the entire truck, even the cab off of there. well kinda the cab comes in pieces but you can still do it

but yeah craigslist. theres a guy a few towns over from me, i believe its tinley park illinois, whos always stripping these trucks down and selling them
