I took my wife for a ride in the 69 and apparently didn't close the tailgate all the way. Somewhere along the way it fell open, because when we got home the tailgate was open. I noticed my H was gone and I went back over the same roads and couldn't find it. Does anybody have just the H they would be willing to part with, and preferably somewhat old and pitted?

Re: My C EVY just isn't the same any more
Bummer! At least in the meantime it has some character.

Re: My C EVY just isn't the same any more
Ok I survived telling her. :-) But she had a much bigger list of stuff to remind me about that are all my fault, and of course she's sure right about that...

Re: My C EVY just isn't the same any more
Now you can tell her what a safety issue that old tailgate is and how you now must install some new latches. Nothing but the best for your main squeeze

Re: My C EVY just isn't the same any more
Hmmm...reminds of the time I told The Queen I was taking the truck (daily driver) out for chrome wheels. Came back 4 hours later with a new truck. Yep, it had chrome wheels.
That was about 15 years ago. She sees no humor in it now and certainly not then. ![]() ![]() |

Re: My C EVY just isn't the same any more
Hi D.B, no I don't plan to go. I understand there is a swap meet in Conroe every year, but I have not been to it yet. I may like to try to find a whole tailgate that is saddle and in better condition than mine, because mine is in poor condition.

Re: My C EVY just isn't the same any more
I am sure I have the complete tailgate moulding with all of the letters stashed away in my parts shed. Let me know if you know someone heading up to the C10.

Re: My C EVY just isn't the same any more
Similar experience with my 72 super. It’s now a CHEVRO_ET! The L’ is in the glove box.

Re: My C EVY just isn't the same any more
I am hoping somebody could dig an H in reasonably good condition out of a box of scrap parts and mail it to me. Cosmetic imperfection is fine. I will pay for the part and postage. Somebody out there has painstakingly refurbed their tailgate band with new letters and woodgrain decal and has the old letters or an old band laying around gathering dust. If somebody has a whole 1969 original paint saddle tailgate that they can part with, that would be fine as well. It is OK if it is the kind with no band and just the big Chevrolet painted (or faded) embossed letters.

Yes, I am still searching for the H. Thanks, that looks pretty much perfect for my truck.
