Boy did I get a big break!!!

[rapidride3]

In a quest to find a mint tailgate for my 76' cheyenne. I found this one with a story to go with it. The owner said it was a brand new take off that had set in someone's attic. It was taken off a brand new truck to install the oh so popular camper back in the day. 2 to 3 weeks later the truck was stolen. It sat in the original owner's attic for 28 years! The guy I bought it from then had it in his attic for another 7 or 8 years. He even gave me a mint narrow band with it.
I felt I was on Wayne Carrini's chasing "tailgates" for a minute. It's pictured with dust. But all in all as near as nos as ill ever be able to afford.
