Junkyard tailgate...
Believe it or not, this was standing on end in about 2" of mud leaning up against a tree. Pretty sure it is a new take-off. Good thing i saved it. Just thought i would share. Enjoy...

Funny thing is there was a blazer front clip lying there next to it and he wouldn't sell me the emblems off it.

Re: Junkyard tailgate...
Eric, I understand about logging the miles and putting in the time of the chase. Heck we travel to find good parts. It's all worth it when you find stuff like this.
