eBay NOS fleetside tailgate

['68OrangeSunshine]

Of course my post was the obligatory ''Crochetty Old Man Rant.''
I do understand the high roller trend. While I can't play, I see they found something good in this design, that's not available with current rolling stock. Something I saw as a 17 year-old from my high school lawn at lunch when they first came out.
I bought a good used truck when I was 23. A stubborn streak has compelled me to keep it. Every time a component needed repair or replacement, I tried to make an improvement or innovation. It's a sleeper with a Hot Rod L6.
On my third engine with 406 on the clock.
It does gall me sometimes, when filling up [which at 12 MPG is often] that some young dude asks to buy it, as though I've been the steward of his flippable Barn Find lo these many years.
Anyway I keep getting eBay notices about Chevy tailgates now that I clicked on it. A seller has an Orange Stepside Tailgate for only $750 and $78 shipping. And it's dinged!
As a Coffee Table!
If he wanted a hundred for it, I'd talk him down to $75.
