The passenger side and rear gate are still in reasonable shape. the drivers
side gate where the hinges attach has been patched in the past and I don't
think they will take patching again. There is about a 6" rust hole around each
hinge area.

for them. It is an item that is findable if you look hard enough and they are
also an item that any good body man can bring back to life if they are not
really far gone. Usual problem is being bent in the middle, i.e., not
straight, and rust rot in the lower part of the channel. They have got to be
really far gone before I would buy one of the repops for a replacement at the
current asking prices. A fair swap meet price for one fairly decent gate is
somewhere in the ball park of $200-$250.
