i think the answer is yes. BUT window tailgates are less rare than yours. so check that you cant do a swap with someone who needs a solid tailgate. 2 folks end up getting what they want then.

glad I read this as I have a solid tailgate in my garage which was going to scrap. I took it off my panel van as it was a bit rusty at the bottom and need more light.
Thanks

A solid tailgate that is rusty at the bottom. Are you a short tall guy who's well shaven with a beard?

ok, ok, ok I'll take the bait
should have been more specific

- the tailgate I have is one from a commercial van (solid panel where there is glass on the non-commercial vans). The tailgate has rust on the inner lower section but not too bad and some very minor rust spots on the outside panel.
Seen as how you are all being soooooooooooooo cruel to my tailgate i'm going to keep it
