Does anyone have a picture of what a 1971 d-300 long box stepside would look like?When I bought the truck it had a 10 1/2 foot camper on it and no gate. Clay

It is the standard 1948-85 stepside tailgate. In 71, it would have been smooth, no stamped in letters, or had "Dodge Ram" stamped on it in small letters. Any of the stepside high side box gates will fit and look fine. Some are end only hinged, some have end and center hinges. My 49 has end only hinges, but the lower valance panel is set up for the center hinge as well (and the valance is factory, the center hinge came out in the 60s). Can occasionally find perfect gates around here if you can't find one. They average $100 bucks, so if you can find one close to home, do so.

If I didn't build it, it ain't mine.
