Buyer looking for

Vintage Tailgate / Tailgates Wanted

Budget: $1.00

Hello I'm looking for old vintage and antique pickup tailgates. I use these to build benches with my Grandsons. This actually gets them off of the computer and the phone and lets us do something productive together while teaching them some usefull skills that they can use in today's world. The benches that we've built so far have been given to friends and loved ones and also used to raise money for local food banks by selling raffle tickets at our non-profit events.
I'm mostly interested in tailgates from as early as the 1920's through the mid 1970's in original condition and not repainted ones because I try and preserve the originality of the tailgate including any dings, small dents, rust, paint fading, patina or whatever it may be. I do need them to be somewhat straight since it will be used as the backrest of said bench. Surface rust is totally fine but can't use those that have rust through holes for obvious safety reasons for the person sitting on the bench.
