Basement tailgate collection. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

see ten · 01-14-2008, 08:27 PM

OK, some of the newer guys wont remember this but I'm hoping some of the members who've been around a while will. Wasn't there a member who had a collection of take off tailgates hanging in their basement as well as a full A/C dash with a tach cluster? I remember seeing the pics but I don't remember who it was. I really don't need to know for any particular reason aside from just wanting to see the pics again.

Maybe I'm just trying to assure myself I'm not the only person who collects odd things. Anyway, I've searched three ways til Sunday and still haven't found any info, so if you can point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance fellas!

You`re not talking about JoesJunk`s garage wall art are you?I thought it was a club basement when I first saw his display.

weasel29gm · 01-15-2008, 01:59 AM

Yep, it is Joes!!

72armyswbtruck · 01-15-2008, 03:10 AM

Great any links???

Longhorn Man · 01-15-2008, 05:03 AM

I had thought it was the basement myself

**too much stuff** · 01-15-2008, 05:41 AM

I believe he is trying to complete the color spectrum. I saw it in person awhile back and it was awesome... I am sure it is better now.

snj8198 · 01-15-2008, 06:10 AM

if he sold all those he could single handedly stimulate the economy!

That's just cool! Any more pics? How are the gates attached to the wall? I've got a couple I'm thinking about hanging.

Andy4639 · 01-15-2008, 07:25 AM

I wish I had a basement to hang stuff on. No wonder we can't buy a good factory tailgate nomore. Longhorn Man has them all in his basement.

AuggieStyle · 01-15-2008, 07:29 AM

that is a cool idea....... i am trying to fix up my game room and that just added another idea to the mix.

Longhorn Man · 01-15-2008, 09:26 AM

no no no no... NONE of these are mine.
Those belong to JoesJunk`s

**Joesjunk** · 01-15-2008, 09:38 AM

LOL..That is my gate collection. I have no idea why I started collecting take off gates, but I did. It sure is a conversation starter! I also like NOS hub caps and any other NOS items I can find. I also have 4 NOS gates in the box. I just bought another gate from Randy today!!

**Joesjunk** · 01-15-2008, 09:40 AM

The dash had an am/fm radio in it, but I put it in my 3/4t 4x4. I have one thats does not work I need to put back in it. Here are a few grills too, NOS 72 inner and outer and a MINT 67 GMC

**special-K** · 01-15-2008, 09:44 AM

What about the glovebox doors,Joe?

see ten · 01-15-2008, 09:45 AM

I see the wall brackets at the bottom of the gates but what do you have holding them up at the top? Did I mention how sweet that is?

**Joesjunk** · 01-15-2008, 09:52 AM

I used some small chain to hang them fron the top and "L" shaped brackets for the bottom. Here is a pic

**Joesjunk** · 01-15-2008, 09:54 AM

Thay actually lean out some, makes them easier to look at and put on the wall. I can just push the top in and unhook the chain from the gate and they come right off the wall!!

Oh man, I havent even got to the glove box door collection yet!!!!

**special-K** · 01-15-2008, 09:59 AM

They`re a little easier to stash until you can do someting with them,I guess.

chipflyer · 01-15-2008, 10:06 AM

That is cool Joe, nice collection man!
