Never heard of any law with a tailgate. Dont even think it has to be there at all.

just asked my pops (he's a lawyer)...says VA doesn't have a law about tailgates as far as he knows, but he's not a traffic attorney. I see plenty of net tailgates around though...and plenty without tailgates also as Zack said. he drives without a tailgate every once in awhile haha

You have to have a tag on the rear of the truck...but no...no body panel are required on any vehicle. You can run around with no doors, fenders, hood, truck, ect. if you want.

+ 1. There is no law about tailgates, just as long as you have all your rear lights and license plate
