Re: Look what I scored!
I'll bet there are a few more of those tailgates lying aroung in garage or basements that were taken off when new because of a Camper.

Re: Look what I scored!
Yep! My 69 gate was taken off in early 70 for a camper installation and was barned (not basemented ) ever since!
Very cool, nice score 70STOVEBOLT! I've stripped mine down to bare metal [recently] and it's You'd be surprised what gearheads, especially bachelors, will put in their basements. ![]()

Re: Look what I scored!
Yeah, the color is not my favorite, it's gonna end up medium blue or medium blue/white.

Re: Look what I scored!
What do I look for on the welds? Are they in different places?

Very Nice!!!!
I'll bet it came off a camper equipped truck and got removed and set aside for years somewhere in storage. I was fortunate with my 1/2 ton that my tailgate was removed and put in storage since near/new when the original owner put on a small cap with a back drop door. Luckily it was still in the garage behind some boxes...in super condition. Great Score!!!!....good to know lightening still strikes. Coley

Maybe to signify the metal for stamping to shape, so GM could identify etc...
