Hello
I put a JC Whitney tailgate on an old work truck. The metal was a bit
thinner than original and the spot welds started to show after awhile. but
it lasted quite awhile, 3 years until I sold the truck
I think they would hold up even better on a show truck. mine was on a work
truck and I was opening and slamming the gate once or twice a day.
Hope this helps.
The old saying probably holds true, however, you get what you pay for.
good luck
brian
