Garage/bar wall art- 68 GMC....
Picked this up last week from a local wrecking yard. Went in to look for a core tranny, they had a '67-72 GMC tailgate with the last 6 inches of bed, lights, bumper, whole nine yards. I asked the story on the gate, apparently they had made it into wall art for a bar in town 25 years ago. The ownership of the bar changed hands, and the wrecking yard was asked if they wanted it back. When I was talking to the guy, he said he had a couple "front ends" from the same bar, did I want to look at them? I said sure!! Went upstairs to look, and found this one, and around a '76-79 front clip as well. Dickered over price and took her home. Rad saddle is complete and uncut, still on the factory frame horns/frame mounts. Grill is nice, bezels have one or two dings on them. It's too bad it doesn't have the correct '67-68 front bumper on it, but oh well.
