I remember when my dad put a flatbed on his 1986 F350 and scrapped the old bed. The next day there was a wanted ad on craigslist for one fender, and recently I found out that the 1985-1986 tailgate panel was worth a fortune.

My dad was stripping his 69 mustang coupe to rebiuld it about 6 years ago..and he tor the air conditioning unit out that worked perfectly, we are in craig alaska where it hits 90 once a year maybe in the summer..usually around 60 or 70 so who needs air conditioning, right?...well thats what my dad thought and he threw it away...the whole unit worked great....then he starts getting mustang monthly and hotrod magazine...THERE WORTH A FORTUNE!
......he is still kicking himself and so are me and my brother (kicking him haha)...we were to young to know anything about it haha...i havnt thrown a thing away that i took off of my tuck ...i stripped the rusty box of my 81 F150 and me and my grandpa biult a wood under steel flatbed...i still have the tailgate that was in excilent condition....with nothing to use it on haha

Down here in tx theres not many good tailgates or boxes in the jys. Most of the trucks in the yards are ex-farm trucks that had been worked till they had no good steel left on them, then pillidged by other farmers tryin to fix there old farm trucks.

ah i see
well here in southeast alaska a junkyard or bone yard is unheard of...its basicly "midnight auto mechanicing" on abandon vehicals..and with the rain and nasty weather we get alot of...the corosion and rust has lots of fun eating away at unmanded vehicals....i would say the best place to look woud be in the south west or northwest of the states....dry and no roadsalt is where you are gonna find the best yards
