Holy cow! That tailgate is pristine. That needs to be on a truck.

I like it

But, I agree with Joe, a tailgate that pristine should be on a truck. Maybe he'd take a trade

Would look better with a piece of glass on the top.

I have a few 48-50 tailgates. This gives me an idea!

Look on the bright side.....
Our trucks have precious few places to set down a beer without sliding off and hitting the ground.
Someday someone WILL put that back on a truck. A wife or widow will sell that at a yard sale for 10 bucks or it will be nabbed at the dump by a guy for free who know's what it is.

I'm not saying one way or the other, but as nice as that gate is, even if it was a new take off in '54 and hanging in a barn for 60 years, being in upper New York off Lake Ontario, wouldn't it be a little more rusty than that? I know you guys in the east are pretty rough on sheet metal...just a thought.
