Interesting tailgate mod
I guess this is one way to deal with a dinged up rusty tailgate:
eBay item #4537968994
I want this guy's garage!
Reminds me of the wireform '55 grille I saw at Supernats last year. The owner was parked between the lake and the main show lot.

No offense Kevin, I don't care much for the truck, but I'll take that Shelby and Mustang sitting in the guys garage!

Yea, It would always be nice to have a garage with those in it. Maybe someday.
Oh and yea that tailgate was an option back then that you could get instead of the leather cargo net type (Whatever those were called), or the original tailgate weren't they? lol

I think a truck that sits that high should have a pressurized cabin so you don't get nose bleeds when you are driving

It's not a favorite of mine, either. It just took me a second to figure out what was different about the tailgate.

I think it is kind of cool looking in a different sort of way, but not cool enough to do mine that way.

IMHO Might have been better to have used a clear plexi panel instead of the chicken wire.

I wonder how long he drove around looking for a place to take pictures of his truck before he found that garage door open.
