This is on our local craigslist. Nothing jeep about it, but I thought it worth sharing. That tailgate is pretty much enshrined in the table. Perhaps Chevy folks like that sort of thing??

“Rustic man-cave style coffee table made from a Chevy tailgate. Lots of cool features. Would look good at home or business. Makes a great gift for the Chevy lover in your life. Smoked glass top. One of the pictures shows it with out the glass.”
Can’t find these anymore, have one on my 1973 Chevy step side. They don’t even make step sides anymore, bummer. The Chevy step side box was always a favorite swap for the Willys pick up. A guy up the street from me, Back in Good old Jersey, had a step side box with a dump on his 54 pickup. I believe he bought it from, (my friend & yours) good old Morris Golden, the Willys dealer in Passaic, NJ. Morris was always looking to make a quick buck with the jalopies he had on his lot, so one day when he took in this Willys truck with a beat up dump box, he remembered that rusty old Chevy step side he took in trade 5 years ago. Switched out the box, some bondo and a DuPont Dulux metallic paint job, and WA LA, money in his pocket. Gotta hand it to Morris, he was a “HANDS ON DEALER”.
Another great story 🙂
Dave…..great to see a little “diversity” on ewillys !! I love the older Chevrolet stepside tailgates and this is a great way to showcase one.
