Takeoff Chevy Tailgates

I have a couple of tailgates that were taken off of fleet vehicles 50 years ago & stored in a barn. I got three of them. I am keeping one.

One is excellent - one has a couple small dents at bottom

The tailgate in the pic maybe a 67/68 gate. Harder to find. I have no value on the tailgate. Thanks

Re: Takeoff Chevy Tailgates

I shared this with my dad yesterday, and his initial thought about why the tailgates were removed was to install a liftgate on the trucks. Do you know what the trucks were used for back in the day? Would be cool if some old pictures of the trucks in action existed

They all came out of Alberquerque New Mexico from a dealership called Galles.

I talked to the guy I bought these from but no luck on what the kind of fleet it was.
