Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds Part 2
I believe this is the story of how a tailgate that nice can be found:
That tailgate was probably removed in 1980 when the original owner bought a camper and put it on the truck. He died and then the widow after a few years sold the truck with the camper on it. She was probably asked about the tailgate but had no idea where it was. Now the widow dies, or goes to a home and when they sell the old place, the new home owner finds the tailgate in a shed or in the barn.

Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds Part 2
El Minty tailgate. I'd build a display case/wall hanging device and leave it be.

Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds Part 2
In 1972 a local trader bought a new Cheyenne Super. He was pulling gooseneck trailers with the truck, so he removed the tailgate and put it in the barn. He overheated the transmission and caught the truck on fire, and it burned to the ground.
A couple of us knew the tailgate was there, but a friend of mine was the one that caught him on the right day.

Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds Part 2
72 Camper Special $4000. Not mine. Nice entry fee on this one. Someone should decipher the SPID to determine what the paint color was on day one. It looks as if it was silver and white.
https://bend.craigslist.org/cto/d/be...455995081.html 1972 C20 Custom Camper! It ran great when I last drove it. Ha Ha. Edelbrock 4brl carb. I've had this around for 16 years always wanting to restore it to its glory days and it's evident, it's just not in the cards. I will let it go for $4000. text me at five4one fourEight0 7zero5Eight. do NOT contact

Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds Part 2
It's common for the Medium Olive to fade to that silverish color.

Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds Part 2
That would have been a nice truck based on the SPID, great fixer

Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds Part 2
72 C10 Custom Deluxe Highlander YG8 402 (now 454) $12K
Dark Yellow w/orange plaid, good combo. I don't see many dark yellow trucks these days, great color. It always makes me nervous when a seller includes lots of pictures - but all of the same side of the truck.. But, ya never know. Last edited by jocko; 03-20-2022 at 06:13 PM. |

Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds Part 2
72 C10 Custom Deluxe Highlander YG7 $20K
The only hint of the seat cover is in the last picture - no others. Not sure seller knows it's a Highlander - but the selling price seems to know. Looks very original, even down to the PA1s! |

Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds Part 2
70 C2500 Custom Camper $19.5K (ebay starting bid)
Now that's real-tina, I like it ![]() And I've always liked the two-tone (blue in this case) GMC dash treatments. Those mirrors would have to go... (I don't see original mirror mount holes, hmm - considering the truck was originally med blue, that must be a really, really old repaint) |

I look at these prices and think I originally bought my Longhorn for parts.
