Also if Joe Gallo had managed to become Boss by the skin of his ass I reckon things would've looked like (if it had happened before 1968)

Administration
Boss-Joe Gallo
Underboss-Frank Illiano
Consigliere-Frank Gallo (up till his death)

Capo of the Gallo crew: Albert Gallo (If applicable)

I think I'm right in saying Bobbie Boriello was with the Gallo's. He ended up with the Gambino's. Also wasn't Mike Rizzitelo with them at some time. He ended up in LA.

In the book The Last Mafioso, Jimmy Fratiano states that he went to New York in 1976 to meet with members of the Colombo family to find out if there would be any problem with LA Making Mike Rizitello into their family.
Incidently he also states that another reason for the trip was to see people from the Gambino's about some dispute with Tony Plate. And that was how he came to be on the famous picture with Frank Sinatra Carlo Gambino and Paul Castalano.
