Thanks, Ken. You and your tailgate were the inspiration.

I couldn't get the tail lights lower because of the window on the right. I would be able to raise the tailgate a bit.

 

Are you going to put a bumper on that abe..?

 

Nope. Grandpa's truck didn't have a rear bumper. Besides, then I couldn't hang my Black and Decker lawn tools there.

 

It`s more exciting than what I have been doing while we have this very cold Arctic air mass.

 

This is all I have so far on my wall, still have a 55 grill to hang once I do some repairs to it. Could find room for a 54 grill to when I find one..

 

54 grilles should be plentiful since, as you and Kevin say, nobody likes them! LOL

 

Unfortunately all those garbage cans are long emptied...lol I missed my chance at the wreckers before they crushed the truck..

 

They crushed a 54!

 

Yes they did, only thing missing was the hood..

 

Didn't the fools realize what it was worth?

 

Was just scrap to them, like the other hundred or so they crushed..

 

Very sad to even think about it. I'm glad that our local auto wreckers are real car guys that save older vehicles rather then crushing them.
I bought this one from them a couple of yrs ago, the running board I sent you came from it.

 

There is still some old stuff in this guys yard but he won't sell it it anymore because apparently someone was supposed to have already bought it all. All their money is in towing and they don't care that much about any of the vehicles in the yard, the grandson owns it now and he crushed just about everything there was..
