Restomod 72 K10 "Good Memories"

[Richard]

The tailgate on the truck is obviously not original. A guy rolled into our shop about 15 years ago in a beat to h e double hockey sticks rust bucket 68-69. Had an absolutely perfect tailgate on it. Mine was okay, had a slight bow I had done repairs on it. The owner of the truck that came in said he got the gate for $100 from a guy that took it off right after purchase to install a camper. I offered $300 + my tailgate. He refused my offer saying the truck would be restored. About 3-4 months later he called me back to accept my offer. Unfortunately the gate was not as nice any more. Scratched up on the inside with surface rust starting and a small few dings here and there. Not bowed and no damage to top edge. Was a little disappointed but still grabbed it. Glad I did!
