Anybody out there interested in buying my net tailgate?.. have no use for it
anymore as the truck has been sold.. its a great fuel saver.. tried and
tested too.. I put a gallon of gas in the old S10 and covered a good 600
yards extra using the net over the solid tailgate.. was a bummer walking
home to get gas for the return trip tho..
