1970 and 71 tailgate decaL
I have a friend who is looking to get a new DODGE decal for the tailgate of his 1970 Sweptline. Can someone post the dimensions of the decal or even a good source for one of these? As you know I like to help out my Dodge friends when ever I can. Thanks John

Re: 1970 and 71 tailgate decaL
Hopefully someone will correct me if I am wrong, but I always thought the 70 and 71 tailgates were different. The 70 having the raised letters and the 71 having the flat panel with decal.
Re: 1970 and 71 tailgate decaL
Its debatable. The 69 had raised letters while 70 was both raised and smooth and 71 should be smooth only. Give it a day or two and this will be contradicted. 69 was definitely embossed but in 70 the new smooth tailgate was offered. I believe the embossed surplus was used up during the early 70 production run so 70 was both.

So what's wrong with setting beneath a single pull string incandescent light bulb writing angry letters?

In 1970 the flat tailgate was standard on the Dude. The top trim Adventurer got the metal plaque on a flat tailgate. The others were stamped.
There were a couple of decals on ebay not too long ago.

P# 3494089 is black and P# 3494942 is white. P#3494090 is black Fargo. It's listed under 23-54-11 in the parts manual as being 17" X 5". I've been told a good rubbing of an original is all that's necessary for a reproduction.
