I put my 2x4 wood sides on today, panted the CHEVROLET on the tailgate black, and rummaged some chain for the tailgate. I'll probably have to break down and go to the hardware store and look for sutable hooks, tho.

I've got a second original taillight i'm gunna put on the passenger side rear.. just have to rig a bracket.

an idea is only stupid if you think about it rationally.
