    Raking the tailgate forward was a popular mini truck mod back in the late 70s. I will check my back issues of mini truck magazine from the late 70s and see if I can find a couple of trucks that had this mod and post them. Yes indeed I have every single issue of Mini Truck Mag and Truckin' since the beginning! :)
