Wow! That is a long set of rattles. I've seen snakes that long and bigger but never seen a set of rattles anywhere near as long as the ones in the pic of the snake on the tailgate. I've killed many rattlers in S. California, E. WA, up in B.C. and seen some big timber rattlers in Oklahoma. They seem to wear off the rattles in the places I've been, so that seven or eight would be a fairly long set, even on snakes as big and long or bigger as the one on the tailgate. I can't recall for sure but think that 11 is the most I've seen on any snake we killed.
