Last weekend was the annual Pete swap meet near Dallas at the Texas Motor Speedway. I always look forward to it! One of several treasures I found over my two days there was a 47-53 tailgate in near mint condition that I snapped up for a fair price. I just finished installing it on the ‘50 and it sure looks good. I also bought the piece that fits on top of the battery to hold it down. Mine’s been missing since I bought the truck. Never thought much about it, but when I saw it I knew I wanted it. It’s in perfect condition and fit like a glove when I installed it tonight. I think I’ll have to chase the threads on the posts because the nuts didn’t want to tighten up, but that’s a project for another day.
