Came Oh so close..To new take off Tailgate...

[Swbman]

Yesterday, I saw this new looking Chevrolet 72 3/4 ton with this huge camper on the back on it, it was being driven by this real ole gentleman he was getting out of his truck so I said what the hell, so I stop and talked with him come to find out he bought it brand new it still had the original paint he keeps it in a barn of all things,I asked him did he still have the original tailgate,he tells me he does its in his garage and its been there since he took it off when he put the camper on two weeks after he bought the truck.I ask would he like to sell it,he thinks about it for a moment,and then says no he better keep it, Oh so close...but no cigar, at least not this time.
