Hung up some wall art, in the garage. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Made a bracket and hung my spare tailgates up on the wall. Hope everyone likes it.

**KSCHEVYUP** · 03-13-2011, 07:34 PM

That's really nice!
I'd like to have one to hang on the back of my truck?

Sicklajoie · 03-13-2011, 07:35 PM

Looks good!
I had to double-check to make sure I still had my tailgate!

**72 Super** · 03-13-2011, 07:53 PM

They look good hanging there!

vectorit · 03-13-2011, 07:58 PM

If I had a chance to nab about a 8 tailgates, I'd be all up for doing that in my garage!

I'm no longer really scrounging parts, since my burb is pretty much done except for the interior. So I don't come up on many cool finds anymore that would make good wall art.

In my case, I'd be up to put a bunch of tailgates along the upper edge of the garage wall to ceiling. Sort of like a truck guys crown molding in the garage

Why buy sheetrock when you can have wall art

flashed · 03-13-2011, 10:44 PM

How did you hang those ?I have an extra tailgate that I need to do something with ,actually 2 of them.Would you share your secret ?

big_al_71 · 03-13-2011, 10:55 PM

**70cst** · 03-14-2011, 12:10 AM

hotrodhomi · 03-14-2011, 01:20 AM

You guys are killing me. I can't find a decent tailgate that won't keep me out of the poorhouse. I'm jealous.

**Clyde65** · 03-15-2011, 02:04 PM

That is just too cool guys!

VA72C10 · 03-15-2011, 02:11 PM

Love the headboard!!!

Mike J · 03-15-2011, 06:27 PM

omg! the headboard is AWESOME!
I remember seeing Dino had some benches at his house made up of tailgates, maybe he'll post up some pics

Jacfourteen · 03-15-2011, 06:47 PM

Great Ideas! I especially like the tailgate headboard.

Stano · 03-16-2011, 12:52 AM

Holy cow! If my wife wouldnt kill me i'd make us a new headboard like that one. That is awesome! Heck if she does kill me I will go ahead and build a coffin for me that will use the tailgate for the lid. lol

Stano · 03-16-2011, 01:10 AM

LMAO! Just sent a pic of the headboard to my wife. She loves it! Wants me to make us one. How cool is that? I already have some modifications in mind for ours.

dubds10 · 03-16-2011, 01:15 AM

So this is why I can't find a decent tailgate in the Lower Mainland.

lol
